Murphy's Laws of Computing:

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. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

4. To err is human . . . to blame your computer for your mistakes is even

more human, it is downright natural.

5. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

6. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have

evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly.

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

On number 7 you must have been talking about MicroSoft.

To those seven, Studlover, I'd add an eighth--That all "help" sections are written by idiots, to be read by geniuses.--and a ninth--that, any time something shows up on the screen, that you want to get rid of, it's the only thing on the screen that you can't get rid of.
