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..
A byte was something you took when you ate,
Meg was the name of my honey....
Hardware was used to lock a door...
Gig was a muscian's job for money.
An application was for employment,
A program was a TV show....
A cursor used profanity,
A keyboard was a piano.....
Compress was something you did to 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 a fire,
Hard drive was a long trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived....
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'll wish they were dead....
