* 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.
* 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 perfectly.
* The number one cause of computer problems? Computer solutions offered by
family members.

Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son
asked if
he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God
is
great.
Thank you for this food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets
us ice
cream for dessert.
And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby I heard a
woman
remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even
know
how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it
wrong?
Is
God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God
was
certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that
was a
great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied............Then in a theatrical
whisper he
added, (indicating to the woman whose remark had started this whole
thing),
"Too bad she never asks God for ice cream.....a little ice cream is
good for
the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son
stared
at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest
of
my
life.
He picked up his sundae and without a word, walked over and
placed it
in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is
for
you.... ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good
already."
