Life  before  computers...
電腦以前的生活

  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
  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!
