  • 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.
