This helps me understand my computer

Life Before The Computer

An application was for employment
A program was for a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was for a piano.

Memory was something 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 pad and paper myself
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!
