Ferguson) Organization: The Blue Planet Lines: 14 Sorry if this is not appropriate for this group, but I'm looking for a reference to a couple of quotes that (I think) I heard sometime in this newsgroup. They related to tools and went something like: If the only tool you have is an axe, every problem looks like a tree. If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend four hours sharpening my axe. Does anyone know the exact quotes and who said them? Thanx in advance. -- Stuart Ferguson (shf@well.UUCP) Action by HAVOC (shf@wso.Stanford.EDU)
