    Isn't this part of the Dr Suess type poem about computers ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002

    It's only the first stanza of a much longer poem. Quite humourous, but not nearly as silly as the image produced by the thought of it being used to impress girls, and increasing the odds of "pulling." Yup, he'll be going home alone again...:) "Another day done; all targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly." - Jennie Agard, McGuckin Hardware Systems Manager

      I've added this to my list of witty rhymes for when I'm talking to girls. I think my chances of pulling will increase at least logarithmically. question

        Lol - that link is excellent! As a woman, however, I should really advise you to find poetry of a less techie nature (as you can see from the Who are we, What do we do survey, we techie girls are a rare breed) while chatting up girls you've never met before ;P


        I've always heard that there was an idea behind Win ME... I still can't figure out what that was... anyboy know??? I;ve herad the idea was that it was supposed to be n operating system but I doubt this. - Brian Delahunty

          Could be worse Megan - ever have a guy trying to impress you with his 1GHz P3, 56k dialup. He then asks if you know about PCs... :omg: Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

              If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. :-D

              The Internet, whats that? Is it a car?
