Barry, interesting read. Just to show how important it is to keep up with the terms and usages of the new economy. Here's one for the memories....:-)

a computer was something on tv
from a science fiction show
a window was something you hated to clean....
and ram was the cousin of a goat.....
meg was the name of my girlfriend
and gig was your thumb upright
now they all mean different things
and that mega bytes
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 in. floppy
you hoped no one found out
compress was something you did to the 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 the 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'd wish they were dead
