Murphy's Laws of Computing*p*1. When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.*p*2. The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it.*p*3. When the going gets tough, upgrade.*p*4. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.*p*5. To err is human... to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human. In fact, it is downright natural.*p*6. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.*p*7. If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.*p*8. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.*p*9. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.*p*10. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.*p**br*
