PC Laws
From Sunil Sharma

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 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 `85to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human, it is downright natural.

7. He who laughs last probably has taken a back up.

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

9. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly.

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

No keyboard?

Powering up his office computer one morning, David saw a unique error message:

‘Keyboard undetected.’

Then he saw how to clear the error: ‘Press any key to continue.’

Mouse spelt

Teacher: Maria, spell mouse.

Maria: M-O-U-S.

Teacher: Isn’t there something at the end of it?

Maria: A tail.

Three managers

A software manager, a hardware manager and a marketing manager are driving to a meeting when a tyre blows. They get out of the car and look at the problem.

The software manager says: "I can’t do anything about this - it’s a hardware problem." The hardware manager says, "Maybe if we turned the car off and on again, it would fix itself."

The marketing manager says, "Hey, 75 per cent of it is working — let’s ship it!"
