for every one above 40[or 60]

hi this is my first post in the general topics …
i read this book “HAVE SOME FUN: LAUGH YOUR BLUES AWAY”
nice short book 160kb …and here is wat interested me …

FOR PEOPLE OVER 40…

A computer was something on TV from a science-friction show of note.
A window was something you hated to clean and RAM was the cosine 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 u lost with age.
A CD was a bank account.
And if u had a 3 inch Floppy You hoped nobody found out.
Compress was something you did to the gabage.
And not something u did to a file.
and if you unzipped anything in puplic you’d be in jail for a while.
Log was adding wood to the fire.
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And backup happened to your commode.
Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste ypu did with glue
A web was a spider’s home
and a virus was flu.
I guess i’ll stick to my pad and paper
and the memory in my head I heard nobody’s been killed in the computer crash.
but when it happens they wish they were dead.
;D ;D
i almost had stomach cramps reading thins one hope u liked it.

excuse me for any typos…and i have attached the e book with a .txt extension u should changed it to a .pdf extension

funny to read-thanks-but not time you have something nice put in one of these threads please ;D

Well I had a 51/4" floppy :stuck_out_tongue: ;D two of them on my first PC, no HDD at all ;D


Same as David for me. Back then, there were not even 3-1/2 floppies. Now, there is little use for any type of floppy.

Us old timers know all about floppies. :o :stuck_out_tongue: ;D


CharleyO,

I am still from the days of MS-Dos and there a floppy was a diskette. Remember?

polonus

SUMMARY OF MY PAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER
I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program!

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa’s novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy Gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won’t crawl in my back seat when I’m pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put “Under God” on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can’t boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones or candy machines because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don’t support our troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan

I no longer have any sneakers – but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat, waiting to cause me instant death when it bites my Butt.

Thank you; too, for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he’s told us how to fix everything.

And thanks to your great advice, I can’t ever pick up the $5.00 I might have dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

Oh, and don’t forget this one either! I can no longer drive my car because I can’t buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor’s ex-mother-in- law’s second husband’s cousin’s beautician…

By the way, a South American scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain and sexual activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.

Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late.
Have a wonderful day… :slight_smile: ;D :slight_smile:

My past year in the computer is much like Bob’s. What amazes me is how many people forward that crap around thinking something good will happen or something bad will happen if they do not. Such email can not make anything happen (or not happen) and only serves to clutter the internet and our email inboxes with too much junk. >:(

Follow my lead and just delete such junk email when you get it.
