OK, This is off the topic of Pottering, but as our list is preparing to "change
address", I thought I could stretch the boundary a bit:

    A POEM FOR THOSE OVER 30

                  A computer was something on TV
                      From a science fiction show of note
                  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 a job for the nights
                   Now they all mean different things
                      And that really 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-in. floppy
                        You hoped nobody 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 wish they were dead.
