Okay, I ran into these on an ezine I read, and I thought they were pretty good.

.. a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match. ~Bill Bryson
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. ~Rich Cook

And then, of course, there's the ever-true

To err is human... to really foul things up requires a computer. ~Anonymous

Does anyone else have any good computer quotes?

"There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't."
 
"This job would be a lot easier if it wasn't for all those damn users" - myself, every day.
 
I was going to post the "quote" of Bill Gates saying no one would ever need more than 640K memory, and then found out he never said that. Curse you Google!
 
"We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true." - Robert Wilensky
