Beatles songs for the computer age
 
   __Eleanor Rigby__
 
   Eleanor Rigby
   Sits at the keyboard
   And waits for a line on the screen
   Lives in a dream
 
   Waits for a signal
   Finding some code
   That will make the machine do some more.
   What is it for?
 
   All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
   All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
 
   Guru MacKenzie
   Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
   Isn't it fun?
   Look at him working,
   Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
   Where is the style?
 
   All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
   All the lonely users, why does it take so long?
 
   Eleanor Rigby
   Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
   What is it worth?
   Guru MacKenzie
   Wiping the blood off his hands as he walks from the grave;
   Nothing was saved.
 
   All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
   All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

   __Write in C (Let It Be)__
 
   When I find my code in tons of trouble,
   Friends and colleagues come to me,
   Speaking words of wisdom:
   "Write in C."
 
   As the deadline fast approaches,
   And bugs are all that I can see,
   Somewhere, someone whispers:
   "Write in C."
 
   Write in C, Write in C,
   Write in C, oh, Write in C.
   LOGO's dead and buried,
   Write in C.
 
   I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
   For science it worked flawlessly.
   Try using it for graphics!
   Write in C.
 
   If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
   Debugging some assem bl y,
   Soon you will be glad to
   Write in C.
 
   Write in C, Write in C,
   Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
   Only wimps use BASIC.
   Write in C.
 
   Write in C, Write in C
   Write in C, oh, Write in C.
   Pascal won't quite cut it.
   Write in C.
 
   Write in C, Write in C,
   Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
   Don't even mention COBOL.
