Never make anything simple and efficient when a way can be found to
make it complex and wonderful.

Never put off till run-time what you can do at compile-time.
                -- D. Gries

Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.
                -- Steinbach

Never trust a computer you can't repair yourself.

Never trust an operating system.

Never try to explain computers to a layman.  It's easier to explain
sex to a virgin.
        -- Robert Heinlein

(Note, however, that virgins tend to know a lot about computers.)

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes.
                -- Dr. Warren Jackson, Director, UTCS
