For Those Over 30…

August 6th, 2007 · 5 Comments ·

A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note
A window was something you hated to clean
And ram was the cousin of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And gig was a job for the nights
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega bites.

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A curser 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 inch 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 long 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 back up 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

This was sent to me by a great friend this morning, and it was just too good not to share! Hope you enjoyed it ;)

    LOL…”log on” was a stretch, but funny. I’ll use it next time we go camping or use the wood fireplace. :-)

    I remember the first short story I typed up in Grade 12 Creative Writing (and it took a thousand years to print). It was a pain in the rear. Now, I can barely use a pen & paper without major aches and pains. Times do change!

    Very funny Lynn, but I’m twice your age (roughy).
    I’m sure I can add to this but no time now.

    Very funny, especially since I had to explain zip files to my father in law the other day.
