Lubar has compiled a terrific collection of the best computer technology quotes
of the last four hundred years.  From Hamlet to Pascal, though both Thomas
Watsons, to Bill the Gates, and a host of the great and ingrate, here are
comments on computers, software, programming, and dozens of related topics.
 
Unfortunately, the material is limited to that which is in print, in books,
articles or speeches.  This eliminates that enormous source of wit and mayhem,
the net.  Possibly, a wise choice as the best of the net tends to be multiple-
reference in-jokes, whereas this current collection is accessible to geek and
technopeasant, alike.
 
Still, where is Dave Barry?  Give us more Grace Murray Hopper!  There's irony
in them thar computer journals!  More!  More!  Encore!
