IJMC - The Good Ol' Daze

Well, I'm back from the mountains of North Carolina. My uncle has done 
well with the cabin he got. It's going to be nice when he starts living 
there full time and I can visit more! Nothing like the clean(er) cool(er) 
air you can find in the mountains...                                -dave






 
    The Good Ol' Daze
    
                                        
    
    Do you 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 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 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!
