- Memory was something you lost with age
- An application was for a job
- A program was on TV
- A cursor used profanity
- Keyboards were on pianos
- The web was where a spider lived
- A virus meant days off work sick
- A hard drive was a long road trip
- A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
- If you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy.....you hoped nobody found out.

Boot was a noun.A crash caused damage. Lock ups were in jail. Pop-ups were in books. Spam was in cans. (No one liked it then either.) Menus were in dinners. Worms were in the ground. And Trojans were in your wallet. Tom C
