Episode #309 of "Crocodile Hunter"

"Ahh ... look 'ere. It's an RPG PROGRAM! Whew ... she's a beauty ... BIG
too! Watch it, they can be dangerous, ya know! They've been known to attack
programmers, sometimes throw ALL 99 indicators at 'em."

"Oh ... and look at this! A C program! I haven't seen one of those in these
parts in a long time. Wow ... look at the syntax ... oh she's a unique one
alright! Check out those function calls. Better watch it; I've seen ENTIRE
NETWORKS brought to their knees by these. They're no fun, lemme tell ya."

"Look at this! It's a Visual Basic program! Wow ... it's huge! Must be those
runtime modules! Wait ... oh dear ... it died. Don't worry ... that's quite
common!"
