:-) Computer Points to Ponder

1) Do Viruses ever get sick?

2) Do witches run spell checkers?

3) Does a broken Window get you 7 meg. of bad luck?

4) How come programmers find it so easy to master the special language that runs computers, yet those same folks who write the technical manuals for the rest of us have no grip on simple English?

5) How come the users can find all the computer bugs and not the programmers or analysts?

6) How do you press F1 when your PC has a keyboard error or no keyboard present?

7) If a food processor slices and dices food, what does a word processor do?

8) If Ignorance is Bliss, then why aren't there more happy Windows 98 users?

9) Is AOL so expensive because someone has to pay for those free disks?

10) Is it true that in Russia, a KGB keyboard has no escape key?

11) Why do most software developers call bugs they can't fix, features?

12) Just where is the "any" key anyway?

13) Why does the computer auto-save while you are trying to delete?

14) Why do they call it a hard disk if its damaged with the slightest impact?

15) Why do we trust computers when they make as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 people working 20 years make?

Afterthought: "I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury."– Groucho Marx
