While trying to diagnose a
problem over
the phone I told the user to type out his autoexec.bat file.
He
said it said "File not found".
I told him to do a dir.
I
asked him if he saw autoexec.bat listed.
He said, "Well it says
autoexec, then there's some spaces, but no

I said type this in "type autoexec.bat".
Again he got
"File not found".
I asked him to tell me exactly what he
typed.
He said, "I typed just what you told me: `type

am. That's why I bought it."
Tech Support: "Sir, do you know what
Monte-Carlo analysis does?"
Customer: "Don't get rude with me, of
course I do."
Tech Support: "Put briefly, sir, it runs through your
project several
times, throwing random delays in, and at the end it
averages out the
results."
Customer: "I know all that -- what I
want to know is why it keeps
giving me different answers every time
I run it."
After the first
takeoff of the fully

reassuring voice
of the pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your
automatic pilot.
In my modern and carefully tested sytem an error is
absolutely
impossible, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible,

A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. Mark Twain
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. C. S. Lewis
Aim at the sun, and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if aimed at an object on a level with yourself. Joel Hawes
