5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent source of one liners for presentations, 6 April 2001
This book is full of those things we all say each day about our computers (when we least need one we buy one then cant live without it!!!). A very entertaining read, and just goes to show that IT people really do have a sense of humour

5.0 out of 5 stars A warm and enjoyable collection of quotes., 17 Jul 1997
By A Customer
This is a nice little book, containing several hundred little anecdotes, pearls of wit and wisdom, off-the-mark predictions, bad advice, put-downs and even the odd word of praise all about our favourite topic of computers! The quotes are from many and varied, from the likes of Steve Jobs,one of the founders of Apple, and Arlan Levitan, an American computer journalist, to such as George Bush and Woody Allen. Having grown up with a Vic-20 and then a Commodore-64 I was pleasantly surprised to find Jim Butterfield mentioned more than once. Obviously the odd Americanism will occur in the form of jargon or wordplay. For example, the back page proclaims that the author "has written numerous articles and video games. He's still waiting for them to write back." In short, however, I found this to be a warm and enjoyable collection of quotes. Anyone looking for a joke book with pages of hilarity will not find it here, but anyone who would like acollection of entertaining comments, many quite thought-provoking, will be well catered for. Let me leave you with the salesperson who when asked if he had any 486 computers in stock responded, "No, I think the cheapest computer we carry costs about $900."
