and/or ignorant client:

WARNING: Don't go here until lunchtime. It's a worthwhile read, but a long

PS - My 'Favorites' (� Microsoft 1996)


We'd asked a client to give us some text on a floppy-disc, and that was

exactly what she did; she wrote the text ON the label ON the disc.


"Where are we going to put the left hand navigation?"


"Oh, is that a laptop? I've never seen the Internet before. I'll have to buy

a laptop -- it will fit great in my suitcase!"


Client: Do you really think people will pay you more than $500 for website??

I can get one from IBM for $499, I saw it on the commercial...

me: Be my guest, but when you come back I'm going to be doubling our fee.

Client: (gave me the finger and left)

me: Oops!

Boss: That probably wasn't the best way to say that.
