I have a printer that executes in O(1/N) time, where N is the number of marbles the sysadmin (me!) has lost. The less sanity I have, the more printouts it produces. And the less printouts it produces, the more marbles I lose trying to figure out WHY? WHY? WHY?!? Okay, I'm done ranting about Windows and 1990s accounting packages and modern PostScript printers.
