That's a perfect encapsulation of what drives me to programming. In 
fact, my next project is an apt illustration of the axiom. I'm writing a 
system status monitor that will put up a message telling you when the 
system is shut down, so you won't accidentally do any computing with the 
computer turned off. I'm having some problems with displaying the 
message at the moment, but I expect that I'll solve the issue with the 
new capabilities of Rev 2.7 when it becomes available on Linux.
