Before the computer

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 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 a while.

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.

A virus was the flu.

Television and Computers

Well I send my nights watching TV and writing my book on my computer. I sit on the floor with my laptop on my coffee table and type awhile while watching the tx over top of the screen.

I can not miss my shows like the 40 Law and Order versions the CSI shows, Survivor, hockey, American Idol, and my Screen Savers. These shows are the way I waste away my night time.

I am not sure what I would do without my TV, oh I might just saty on my computer longer and annoy more people! Could I live without a TV? Yes I could, I am happy with doing other things, but it feels good to Veg. out in front of the tube after a hard days work of sitting on my butt coding!

Now where is that remote?
