Remember When ...
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 1/2" floppy you hoped nobody found out?
Compress was something you did to the garbag 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? Hhard 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.
