It's my belief that computers aren't something you use
like you would a Stairmaster. You can't get a workout
on it in a half-hour. You need to have it as part of your life.
--Elisabeth Stock Computers for Youth, as quoted by The New York Times.
To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so.
--Robert Orben
Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft ...
and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor.
--Wernher von Braun
I think computer viruses should count as life.
I think it says something about human nature that
the only form of life we have created so far is
purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
--Stephen Hawking
HELP: The feature that assists in generating more questions.
When the Help feature is used correctly, users are able to
navigate through a series of Help screens and end up where
they started from without learning a damn thing.
--Computer Definitions
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
--Pablo Picasso
The big corporations are suddenly taking notice of the web,
and their reactions have been slow. Even the computer industry
failed to see the importance of the Internet, but that's
not saying much. Let's face it, the computer industry failed
to see that the century would end
--Douglas Adams
The good news: Computers allow us to work 100% faster.
The bad news: They generate 300% more work.
--Unknown
When you're in the midst of a blizzard, you don't
shovel your driveway ... you scrape the pileup of snow
off your roof to keep your house from falling in.
Some of that snow may fall on a guest approaching your porch
... too bad.
--John DeLasaux, regarding the proliferation of spam e-mail on the Internet.
Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle
and will piss on your computer.
--Bruce Graham
My girlfriend always laughs during sex - no matter what she's reading.
--Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computers
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them,
disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.
--Apple Computer Advertisement
