2006-06-09 "Blowin’ In The Wind"

As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Terminator 3 … “I’m back!!!”

After a four month self-imposed hiatus from these public newsgroups, hopefully I can quickly jump back into the “swing” of things in SBS land. If you are interested in reading about my last four months, click on this link:

Of course, first things first — and in this case, it’s the Song of the Week. I watched an interesting TV biography on Bob Dylan the other week, so we will go with a true oldie but goodie. So get your guitar and tambourine and flower power out as wecome together to sing:

Blowin’ in the Wind

How many times must our ‘puter break down
Before we call in the geeks?
Yes, ‘n’ how many spams must we see every day
Before we scan them away?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times must we test beta code
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is patchin’ in the wind,
The answer is patchin’ in the wind.

How many times must Bill Gates look up
Before he see penguins fly?
Yes, ‘n’ how many disks must one man have
Before he can get a larger drive?
Yes, ‘n’ how many bugs will it take till he knows
That too many programs have died?
The answer, my friend, is patchin’ in the wind,
The answer is patchin’ in the wind.

How many years can a tape drive exist
Before it’s replaced with something new?
Yes, ‘n’ how many years can some servers exist
Before they’re no longer used?
Yes, ‘n’ how many times can we patch IE six,
Before we say thatit can’t be fixed?
The answer, my friend, is patchin’ in the wind,
The answer is patchin’ in the wind.
