The modern computer is capable of answering, in a matter of seconds,
mathematical questions that would take millions of years for a human being
to answer (even longer if he stopped for lunch). How does the computer do
this? Simple. It makes everything up. It knows full well you're not going
to waste millions of years checking up on it. So you should never use
computers for anything really important, such as balancing your personal
checkbook. But they're fine for corporate use.
