كل سنه و إنتم طيبين
Do you remember nice days when there were no 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 a girl,
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 3.5" floppy
you hoped nobody found out
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 will wish they were dead.
