Before There Were Computers...

Remember when...

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 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'll wish they were dead

That's really cute...gonna print it off for my mom/dad...they're always crackin' jokes about stuff like this. One night we said about needing to get Windows (when we bought XP a couple years ago) and Dad tries to be all cute by saying...you don't have to pay that much for a window, I got one out in the shed you can have for FREE. Oh, *hystericallll, Dad* hehehehe

This is kind of sad, but I do not remember a world before computers. My mom had an Apple II and that's what I'm nostalgic for, not the pre-computer era. I had an America Online screenname at age 9!
