"And there is one disconcerting thing about working with a computer - it's
likely to talk back to you.  You make some tiny mistake in your FORTRAN
language - putting a letter in the wrong column, say, or omitting a comma -
and the 360 comes to a screeching halt and prints out rude remarks, like
"ILLEGAL FORMAT," or "UNKNOWN PROBLEM," or, if the man who wrote the program
was really feeling nasty that morning, "WHAT'S THE MATTER STUPID?  CAN'T YOU
READ?" Everyone who uses a computer frequently has had, from time to time, a
mad desire to attack the precocious abacus with an axe."

- John Drury Clark, "Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket
  propellants"

Sean
