Things That Are Overlooked


"The most overlooked advantage to owning a computer is that if they foul up there's no law against wacking them around a little"

Joe Martin
In 1979 Joe Martin began his career as a syndicated cartoonist with the debut of TUCKER, a comic strip about a guy running an employment agency, echoing Martin's own beginnings. In 2000 the Guinness Book of World Records recognized Martin as the World's Most Prolific Cartoonist, attesting to the fact that since 1979 Martin has been a very busy man, responsible for writing and drawing three comic strips simultaneously, MISTER BOFFO, WILLY 'N ETHEL, and CATS WITH HANDS, totaling 1300 jokes yearly and over 22,000 published since 1978.
I chose this quote because I have feel that many people can use and needs this rule. There are many times when I have worked on computers many times and then the computer breakes down or shuts down in the middle of an job, which cause many troubles for others and myself. And these kinds of breakdown only seemed to happen at the worse of times.

Your attitude towards computers is exactly how I feel half of the time.
