Oh, come on. I remember a fellow getting the message "Error in source

System/370 ??).

Now that's a utterly useless error message.

My favorite error message came from the telephone company's computer system.

"We're sorry. Your call cannot be completed as dialed. You must first dial
a 1 for the call to be completed.".

Ahhhh, if you knew I had to dial 1 then why not just tell me and then
complete the call for me?
