Dick Maliska  Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. •Jeff Raskin   Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. •Anonymous   The Programmer's Time-Space Continuum is defined as "Programmers continuously space the time." •Leon Lanthier   Computers are useless - they only give you answers. •Pablo Picasso   "Paradosfunctionoracle" is the term used by technicians to describe the reason no one knows why your computer won't work. •J.
