Hi Juan,

This is OT to the list, but I recently observed this
book on the topic:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590590171

I have not read this book and therefore I can not
judge its value, but the title is entertaining. The
quote has apparently been around a while...

Regards,

Mike Thomas
