Quote #96
Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most
automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gage, nor any of the
numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver
makes any mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the dashboard.
"The experienced driver", he says, "will usually know what's wrong."
