Good Computer Newsletter

Post by DavidWW » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:44 am

Hi All

My "LangaList" weekly newsletter, - free, - dropped into my In-Box this morning and it occurred to me that others might find it to be of interest as well.

A lot of the content is a bit above my head these days, but there are so often items that I do find to be helpful (I'm a former DOS3.2 person, who can still write a wicked batch file :!: )

Fred Langa's philosophy is neatly summed up by a quote in his current edition........

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning." - Rich Cook

Certainly worth a look if you are at all interested..........

Subscription and other details can be found on http://langa.com/newsletter.htm

As an ex-programmer I can relate to that sentiment :lol:
