Some funny computer quotes
"In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that someone, somewhere is having fun with a computer on company time. Networks help alleviate that fear."

"To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so."

"If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside."

"If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow enobled and no-one dares criticize it."
Pierre Gallois.
"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers."

Whether true or not this one still makes me chuckle..
"640kb ought to be enough for anybody."
* Notes: Attributed to him in 1981 when designing DOS's conventional memory limit as ten times the amount in his computer; Bill Gates has denied saying this and the quote is likely a fabrication.
