Logic puzzles? My favorite site lady quit, so please let me know if you've found a good site. By the way, I devised an Excel spreadsheet with macros to solve these puzzles.

Pete’s Theory:

Nothin’s easy.

Thought to Remember:

There isn’t one of us who knows everything about everything regarding computers — or wants to.

Beware:

Computers always know when you’re stressed and under a deadline. They will take every advantage of this condition.

"If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it."
 
W. C. Fields
Great story. If you're a user, you'll appreciate it.

Even funnier.

 

Murphy’s Laws of Computing

  • When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
  • When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.
  • The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it.
  • When the going gets tough, upgrade.
  • For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
  • To err is human . . . to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human. . . it is downright natural.
  • He who laughs last probably made a back-up.
  • If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.
  • A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
  • The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
  • A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.

Murphy’s Best Law:

Whatever you have to do, you have to do something else first.
