Life before computers

This is also from the Xena Message board, life really was simpler back in the day lol. And it does seem to ring true even now.

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!
