Memory was something you lost with age.
An application was for employment.
A program was a TV show.
A cursor was a person who used profanity.
A keyboard was a piano.
A web was a spider's home.
A virus was the flu.
A CD was a bank account.
A hard drive was a long trip on the road.
RAM was a male sheep.
A monitor was someone who watched the hallways at school
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived.
And if you only had a 3 inch floppy, banana

You just hoped nobody ever noticed. blushing
