I must protest the answer to the above question. If you look back in time
somewhere in net.jokes you will find a joke to the effect:
	Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light-bulb?
	A: None; it's a hardware problem.

Although this does not imply that programmers are incapable of explaining
the procedure for changing a light bulb, most persons of that breed would
not want to waste the time :-)
