One-liners

• RAM DISK is not an installation procedure.
• Computers are only human!
• Was that your wife I saw in that GIF?
• I used to have a life, then I got v32bis!
• If the pen is mightier than the sword, and a picture is worth a thousand words, how dangerous is a FAX? ...about 85% of a GIF.
• This time it will surely run...
• We just found the LAST bug.
• On a clear disk you can seek forever.
• Stack manipulation -- the use of inflatable falsies.
• Bug? That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
• erqq "I’m a modemer and I’m OK. I surf all night and I sleep all day."
• I write all my critical routines in assembler, and my comedy routines in FORTRAN.
• I modem, but dey grew back!
• To iterate is human; to recurse, divine.
