Remember When (Classic)

A computer was something on TV From a science fiction show 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 your middle finger upright Now they all mean different things And that really MEGA bytesAn application was for employment A program was a TV show A cursor used profanity A keyboard was a pianoMemory 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 outCompress 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 whileLog 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 commodeCut you did with a pocket knife Paste you did with glue A web was a spider’s home And a virus was the fluI 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
