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 the 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 'puter 'cause it can react act like a bomb.

Yes of course.

Sorry, I did notice the 'copyright' and 'plagiarism' Policy but forgot about it.

I've had that little piece for years but I'm not the author, so I'm afraid I'm unable to give credit where credit's due.

It's a good policy, and I won't be offended if you delete this post.

Thank you chonsigirl, I've copied and pasted it into the original post.

You know, I'm pleasantly surprised how quickly my first few posts have received a response.

In my experience, binbag, other sites I have visited, I have found that a poster who may require a reaction/answer may have to wait more than a day ! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
