Hey guys

I thought it would be cool to find out some of your favorite computer quotes. Things that you find amusing or funny in relations to computers, programming, windows, macs or anything in between. I'll start off with a few of my favorites

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
