An Old Timer’s Poem
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 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 pi-a-no.
Memory was something that you lost with age.
A CD was a bank account.
And if you had a 3 ” floppy,
You hoped nobody found out.
Compress , you did to the garbage,
Not something you did to a file,
And if you unzipped in public
You’d be in jail for a while
Log on was adding wood to the fire.
Hard drive was a trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived,
And a backup occurred in 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.
I guess I’ll stick to my pen 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!

funny! may i take it sometime.. u may see my site and see ive been in a bad mood lately, but its still funny.. by the way- id like know know exactly how xanga works.. who pays for the servers and the harddrives? it be an interesting comment to leave me! thanx alot for the xanga service anyhow.
Do you help build and maintain Xanga? If so, please pass it on that I’m really displeased about xanga hi-jacking people’s Profile messages by adding links to them. Microsoft tried to do this sort of thing a few years ago with XP, and they got bad reaction big time. Thanks.
(BTW – I really love xanga! Great site, too!)
Have a great weekend!

I received this
letter from a friend on the computer, did what it told me to, and within a
week, everything I had wished came true!! Here’s an exact copy, this really
works!!!!
*************************************************************
1. To yourself, say the name of the only
guy or girl you wanna be with 3
times!
*************************************************************
2. Think of something you wanna accomplish
within the next week and say it to your self 6
times!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>
3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to
yourself 9 times!!!
———————————————————————–
4. Think of something that you want to happen
between you and that 1special person and say
it to your self 12 times!!!
——————————————————————–
5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as
you scroll down focus and
concentrate on it and think on nothing
else but that wish.

Now make one last &final wish about that one wish that you picked.
After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people, and what
you wished for will come true within in one week!
u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your
crush!!!
Keep going down
Keep going
Keep going
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was
your last chance. Now pay very close attention this important message!
Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda chain
letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863 and if you
break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing these
stories.
First Example:
Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl,
up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid
since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn’t pay any attention to
it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her dad
got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent the
letter none of that would have happened and her mom would be alive.
Second Example:
Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average
nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of
your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51 people in
the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd grade. The
next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for him ever
since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out, and of
course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew up and
married each other to live happily forever.
Third Example:
Now if you couldn’t relate to the others, this’ll
get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just
getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that popular but
not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his
friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart kid and
he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on. He simply pulled a few
friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day, about that
same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery! then his
dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him Nintendo64 and
play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best friend
gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp
Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin’ wild!
the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been going out
ever since.
Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i’d rather
be, but thats up to you. I wouldn’t wanna end up like Barbra but thats
only me. We all want what we cant have but now’s ur chance to go out with
that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send
this to-
1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love
life…..forever!!!!!
10 people- your crush will say they like you as a
friend……ONLY!!!!!
15 people- your crush will say they like you
20 people- your crush will ask you out!
25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
30 people – Your crush will have sex with you
35 people or more- All of the above!!
Don’t blow it, it’s ur chance to shine! Have
everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u dont have any
friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It’s simple, just go in a
chat room, pick some names and send away! but here’s the catch…..you only
have one hour to send it after being read. Please pass this to everyone u
know and keep it going! e
I didn’t write this, so don’t look at me. I was just doing
everybody a favor and passing it on. Now you do the same
