    A story is told that Richard Wagner was walking on a street in Berlin one day and came across an organ-grinder who was grinding out the overture to Tannhäuser. Wagner stopped and said, "As a matter of fact, you are playing it too fast."

    The organ-grinder at once recognized Wagner, tipped his hat, and said, "Oh thank you, Herr Wagner! Thank you, Herr Wagner!"

    The next day Wagner returned to the same spot and found the organ-grinder grinding out the overture at the correct tempo. Behind him was a big sign: "PUPIL OF RICHARD WAGNER."

    Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
    When up on the hard drive there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the monitor I flew like a flash,
    Sat down at the keyboard, gave the spacebar a mash.
    The sight on the screen, all a'flicker with snow,
    Gave the luster of power surge to the menu below.
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But an autoexec. bat that seemed rather queer.
    With a little print driver so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment I had seen a new trick.
    More rapid than eagles the cursors more...
