Murphy’s Laws of Computing (contributed by John L. Hoh, Jr.)

• When computing, whenever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
• When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it’s probably obsolete.
• The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it.
• When the going gets tough, upgrade.
• For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
• He who laughs last probably made a backup.
• If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.
• A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
• The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
• A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.
