Murphy's Laws Of Computers

When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.

When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably
obsolete.

The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least
expect to find it.

When the going gets tough, upgrade.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

To err is human - to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human, it is
downright natural.

He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler
system that worked just fine.

The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.

A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want to do.

This is a variant on this one



What Sex are Computers?

Five reasons to believe computers are female:
-----------------------------------------------------
No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
Even the smallest mistakes are immediately committed to memory.
The native language used to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else.
The message "bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know what is wrong, then I'm not going to tell you."
As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.


Five reasons to believe computers are male:
------------------------------------------------------
They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
A better model is right around the corner.
They look attractive -- until you take them home.
Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
