10
Laws of computer
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.

Times
Have Changed
20 years
Ago.............
A program was.....
a television show
An application was.... for employment
Windows were..... something you hated to clean
A cursor.... used profanity
A keyboard was.... a piano
Memory was.... something you lost with age
A CD was... a bank account
And if you had a 3 ½ floppy you hoped no one found out
If you unzipped in public you went to jail
Compress was something you did to garbage
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
Log on was adding wood to a fire
A backup happened to your toilet
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
Cut you did with scissors
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!!!
TIMES SURE HAVE CHANGED!

Email
Forever
A jobless man applied for the
position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager
interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. "You are
engaged" he said, give me your e-mail address, and I'll
send you the application to fill, as well as when you will
start. The man replied " I don't have a computer,
neither an email" I'm sorry, said the HR manager,
if you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And
who doesn't exist, cannot have the job. The man left
with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only
10US$ in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket
and buy a 10 Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes
in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded
to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times
and returned home with 60 US$. The man realized that he can
survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and
return late. Thus, his money doubles or triples every
day. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck,
then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later,
the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the U.S. He
started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a
life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and choose
a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded,
the broker asked him his email. The man replied: ' I don't
have an email'. The broker replied curiously, you don't
have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire.
Do you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!
The man thought for a while, and replied: an office boy at
Microsoft!
The moral of this story
M1- Internet is not the solution
to your life.
M2- If you don't have internet, and work hard, you can be
a millionaire.
M3- If you received this message by email, you are closer
to be an office boy, rather than a millionaire.
