LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER
   
  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 inch floppy
  You hoped nobody found out!
   
  Compress was something you did to 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 a 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!
