Life before Computers (Funny!)

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Wed Jun 09, 2004 12:03 pm

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
And a keyboard was on a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age
And a CD was a bank account
And if you had a corrupted disk
It would hurt when you found out!

Compress was what 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
A hard drive was a trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to the commode!

Cutting, you did with a pocket knife,
Pasting, you did with glue.
The Web was where a spider lived
And a virus was the flu!

So true! LOL

Hey before computers if you had written LOL on a hand written note, your friend would say you need to go back to school and learn to spell! Not much was abbreviated back then.
