Murphy's Top 10 Laws of Computing

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

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

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

4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.

5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite
malfunction.

6. To err is human...to blame your computer for your
mistakes is even more human, its downright natural.

7. He who laughs last, probably has a back-up.

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

9. A complex system that doesn't work is invariably found
to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just
fine.

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