The Laws of computing

1. For every function, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

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

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

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

5. When the going gets tough, upgrade.

6. To err is human... to blame your computer for your mistakes is downright natural.

7. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

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

9. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.

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

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