...or maybe not
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 girlfriend
and gig was a job for the nights.
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 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 trash
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.

Boris Yeltsin, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates were invited to have dinner with God. During dinner he told them "I need three important people to send my message out to all people
- Tomorrow I will destroy the earth".
Yeltsin immediately called together his cabinet and told them "I have two really bad news items for you: 1. God really exists, and 2. tomorrow He will destroy the earth".
Clinton called an Emergency meeting of the Senate and Congress and told them "I have Good news and Bad News: 1. God really does exist, and 2. The bad news is tomorrow he's destroying the earth".
Bill Gates went back to Microsoft and
happily announced "I have two fantastic announcements: 1.
I am one of three most important people on earth, and 2. The Year
2000 problem is solved".
