"The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts
agree, is by accident. That's where we come in. We're computer
professionals. We cause accidents."
- Nathaniel Borenstein, inventor of MIME, in Programming as if
People Mattered: Friendly Programs, Software Engineering and
Other Noble Delusions, Princeton University Press, Princeton,
NJ, 1991.
