VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Murphy's Law of Computing

1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though
you meant it to happen.

2. When you get to the point where you really
understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.

3. The first place to look for information is in the
section of the manual where you least expect to find
it.

4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.

5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite
malfunction.

6. To err is human . . . to blame your computer for
your mistakes is even more human, it is downright
natural.

7. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

8. If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.

9. A complex system that does not work is invariably
found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked
just fine.

10. The number one cause of computer problems is
computer solutions.

11. A computer program will always do what you tell it
to do, but rarely what you want to do.
