REMEMBER WHEN . . .
a computer was something on tv
from a science fiction show......
a window was something you hated to clean....
and ram was the cousin of a goat.....
meg was the name of a girlfriend......
and gig was your middle finger upright.....
now they all mean different things
and that really mega bytes.....
an application was for employment.....
a program was a tv show.....
a cursor used profanity.....
a keyboard was a piano.....
memory was something that you lost with age......
a cd was a bank account......
and if you had a 3 1/2' floppy, you hoped nobody found out.....
compress was something you did to the garbage,
not something you did to a file.....
and if you unzipped anything in public
you'd be in jail for a while.....
log on was adding wood to the fire.....
hard drive was a long trip on the road.....
a mouse pad was where a mouse lived......
and a backup happened to your commode......
cut you did with a pocket knife.....
paste you did with glue.....
a web was a spider's home......
and a virus was the flu.....
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
and the memory in my head......
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
but when it happens they wish they were dead......
