             "The Beatles Updated"

        Yesterday
        ---------

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.

Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.


   ====================================

        Unix Man
        --------
   He's a real UNIX Man
   Sitting in his UNIX LAN
   Making all his UNIX plans
   For nobody.

   Knows the blocksize from du(1)
   Cares not where /dev/null goes to
   Isn't he a bit like you
   And me?

   UNIX Man, please listen(2)
   My lpd(8) is missin'
   UNIX Man
   The wo-o-o-orld is at(1) your command.
   He's as wise as he can be
   Uses lex and yacc and C
   UNIX Man, can you help me At all?

   UNIX Man, don't worry
   Test with time(1), don't hurry UNIX Man
   The new kernel boots, just like you had planned.
   He's a real UNIX Man Sitting in his UNIX LAN
   Making all his UNIX .plans For nobody ...
   Making all his UNIX .plans For nobody.

   ===================================

        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 assembly,
   Soon you will be glad to
   Write in C.

   Write in C, Write in C,
   Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
   BASIC's not the answer.
   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.
