     > LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER
     >
     > 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 inch floppy > You hoped nobody found out!
     >
     > 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 a
     while!
     >
     > 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 pocket knife
     > Paste you did with glue
     > A web was a spider's home
     > And a virus was the flue!
     >
     > 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!
