Remember when,......

Got this via email and thought it would give you a laugh,


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 a 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 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

Why yes I do remember.... the good ole days...

That was the best Asala. It's so true. Kinda like trying to relate to text speak or even the way teenagers talk today. They don't understand these words had meanings before computers- heck they don't even know about life before computers.I remember watching TV shows where a computer took up an entire wall. My kids don't believe me.Thanks for posting this. It made me smile and feel a little bit younger today.

Oh so true and funny as all heck Asala. Thank you for sharing this with us

Oh how I remember when computers were things people never even thought of owning for themselves. One day my friend got a Commodore 64 and I asked him why.

Then there is the old movie, Ferris Buler's Day Off where he hacks into the school computer and changes his absences.

Oh what a long strange trip it's been...

LOL,

Everything, is so, so true. I had the hardest time learning computers. My husband taught me. I didn't like the name of the "mouse" made no sense to me. Hard drive, software. etc.... Everything, about computers confused me. However, today I know just enough to get me around.

I really enjoyed that asala, It brightened up a grey day. Thank you very much!!!
