Dr. Seuss On Computers

From Southern Girl.

Finally someone who can explain computers!
You've gotta read this ALOUD

(Read this to yourself aloud - it's a must!)

DR. SEUSS EXPLAINS COMPUTERS

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on your cable on the table at your house
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang
Because as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
Then you have to flash your memory,and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom.

Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?


Thank you, Bill Gates, for bringing all this into our lives.
