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 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 wish they were dead
