“A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history — with the possible exception of handguns and tequila.” —Christopher Harper Mitch Radcliffe? Ratliff? Computers, handguns and tequila (And That’s The Way It Will Be… News and Information in a Digital World)
Found this quote in a paper written by a student. I’ll have to get that book.
Update, 09 Dec: Whoops, it looks like Harper was quoting a statement attributed to someone named Mitch Radcliffe or Ratliffe. No time today to explore this little mystery.

Jess, thanks for catching that.
I’ve removed the name of the student, who seems to have made an honest mistake. I should’ve checked before blogging it.
Not sure I agree with the credits. Mitch Ratcliffe.
