I wish I had these in a fortune file...

Reminds me of the adage I read on LinuxCommand.org:
Quote
I once heard an author remark that when you are a child you use a computer by looking at the pictures. When you grow up, you learn to read and write. Welcome to Computer Literacy 101. Now let's get to work.
All children left unattended will be given a mocha and a puppy.
