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 a floppy disk was something

Terribly wrong in your back.

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 pocketknife,

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!

True story from a Novell NetWare SysOp:

Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"

Tech Rep: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"

Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?"

Tech Rep: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"

Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."

Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"

Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '4X' on it."

At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he could not stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it off the drive.
