Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on
the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was
tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to
set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I
will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports.
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, 10 minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed
across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power
went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word
known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed.
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their
computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming: "It's gone!
It's all GONE! I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the
past two hours of work. Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!" he
screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and
I don't have any?"
God just shrugged and said "JESUS SAVES!"
Just a little reminder. FileMaker Pro saves your work automatically as
you go, without any need for human — or divine — intervention. Aren't
you glad you use FileMaker? Don't you wish everyone did?

My favorite computer error haiku:
3 things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
