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 my girlfriend
    and GIG was something you did on stage for money
Now they all mean different things
    and that really mega bytes

An application was for employement
    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 awhile

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 died in a computer crash
    but when it happens they wish they were dead
