$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / There was once a programmer who worked \ | upon microprocessors. "Look at how well | | off I am here," he said to a mainframe | | programmer who came to visit, "I have | | my own operating system and file | | storage device. I do not have to share | | my resources with anyone. The software | | is self-consistent and easy-to-use. Why | | do you not quit your present job and | | join me here?" | | | | The mainframe programmer then began to | | describe his system to his friend, | | saying: "The mainframe sits like an | | ancient sage meditating in the midst of | | the data center. Its disk drives lie | | end-to-end like a great ocean of | | machinery. The software is a | | multi-faceted as a diamond and as | | convoluted as a primeval jungle. The | | programs, each unique, move through the | | system like a swift-flowing river. That | | is why I am happy where I am." | | | | The microcomputer programmer, upon | | hearing this, fell silent. But the two | | programmers remained friends until the | | end of their days. | | | | -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of | \ Programming" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
