Real Programmers use the front panel switches on the machine to toggle
in UNIX (from memory) first thing in the morning before starting work.


Real Programmers know that thumping the terminal usually causes the
computer to respond quicker, when there are several hundred users
on the system.


Real Programmers write compilers which leave the user waiting until
right at the end of a 1/2 hour compile before admitting that there
was an error on the first line.

Real (Computer Graphics) Programmers carry great hefty magnets around
with them to demagnetize graphics tablets, and then wonder why their
