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 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 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!

I think I saw the list posted somewhere recently. Only thing about it if you remember those items, you're showing your age! I know I'm showing mine...

That's the full version of the poem, with some things like ram being the cousin of a goat :D.
