Does anyone have a great computer related quote? I'd be interested in reading a few of them, and maybe using them if I like them. Anyway, post one if you got it.

Don't explain computers to laymen. Simpler to explain sex to a virgin. ~Robert A. Heinlein

If you find yourself thinking of normal everyday objects as if they are somehow computer related, then you must seek help immediately. This is a sure sign that your life is becoming computer dominated.

SUPERCOMPUTER: what it sounded like before you bought it

A computer is like an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy

Real men don't use backups, they post their stuff on a public ftp server and let the rest of the world make copies

A computer's attention span is only as long as its power cord

The problem with computers is they do what you tell them

Like car accidents, most hardware problems are due to driver error

:D

"Dating a girl is just like writing software. Everythings going to work just fine in the testing lab (dating), but as soon as you have contract with a customer (marriage), then your program (life) is going to be facing new situations you never expected.

Found a few more:

Users /nm./: collective term for those who use computers. Users are divided into three types: novice, intermediate and expert.
Novice Users: people who are afraid that simply pressing a key might break their computer.
Intermediate Users: people who don't know how to fix their computer after they've just pressed a key that broke it.
Expert Users: people who break other people's computers.
