Blessings on this fine machine,

May it’s data all be clean.

Let the files stay where they’re put,

Away from disk drives keep all soot.

From its screen shall come no whines,

Let in no spikes on power lines.

As oaks were sacred to the Druids,

Let not the keyboard suffer fluids.

Disk full shall be nor more than rarity,

The memory shall not miss its parity.

From the modem shall come wonders,

Without line noise making blunders.

May it never catch a virus,

And all its software stay desirous.

Oh! let the printer never jam,

And turn my output into spam.

I ask of Eris, noble queen,

Keep Murphy far from this machine.

There was this guy who was called in to complain that he got an "Access Denied" message every time he logged on. It turned out, he was typing his username and password in capital letters.

Tech support: "Ok, let’s try once more, but use lower case letters."

Customer: "Uh, but I only have capital letters on my keyboard..."

I overheard older looking ladies trying to figure out the computers at a local store.

Woman 1: "What is that little trash can on the screen?"

Woman 2: "My son says that is call the 'recycle bin'. He tells me when I don't want a Word document anymore and I delete it. It really goes in there."

Woman 1: "Why in the recycle thing? Can't you just erase it?"

Woman 2: "Oh no, Word wouldn't work for long if I did that. I would run out of blank pages."

Woman 1: "Why?"

Woman 2: "Because it cleans the words off the pages, then sends the blank sheets back to Word so they can be used again. That's why it's called the recycle bin."
