Joe,

 JM>   I love it when someone storms into the parking office declaring to
 JM> one and all they were in the right, everyone else was wrong.

 JM>   "Here, look at this".
 JM>   Oh.

  BUSTED!! 

 JM>   Technology, ya gotta love it.

  Or when it doesn't work, it's "Technology, Phooey!!". That was the title
of one of "The Ant And The Aardvark" cartoons. Basically, the ant was the
roadrunner, and the aardvark was Wile E. Coyote.

  Well, the aardvark builds this computer (supposedly smarter than he was),
to try various methods to get the ant...and each time, it fails.

  So, in the last scenes of the cartoon, the exchange goes like this:

Aardvark: As a computer, you stink!!
Computer: Who said I was a computer?? I'm an automatic pop up toaster!!
And, I'll prove it.



As the cartoon ends, the aardvark, practically buried in a mound of toast,
asks "Anybody got a pound of butter??" .
