Rules for the Game
This site reflects Rules for the Game of Living. It contains a collection of over 30 years worth of articles, pictures, diagrams, jokes and other materials reflecting the humor and pragmatic realities of humans living out life. Some entries are funny, others sad and a few are just "strange". New ones are always being found, created and are welcomed for consideration to be included here. (Just submit by "Posting a Comment" to any existing entry). The common theme, or criteria, is that all entries need to contain a perspective, an aspect of, or, an insight into the realities of human beings, nature, and life in general. (The basic qualification for an item to be added to this site is that is there is at least a little bit of pragmatic TRUTH contained within it.) THANK YOU for visiting RULES FOR THE GAME and ENJOY! (Note: You can also group 'Rules' entries by types and themes by clicking on a word in "Tags" or on one of the "Categories". This capability is available at the 'main index page' - just select the related 'link', located at the bottom of each indivdual entry page.)

REMEMBER WHEN...

A poem of computer terms - for the Ages (or should that be "Aged")

A COMPUTER was something on televison
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 television show
a CURSOR used profanity
a KEYBOARD was a piano

MEMORY was something that you lost with age
a CD was a bank account
and if you had a 3 1/2" FLOPPY
you hoped nobody ever found out

COMPRESS was something you did to the garbage
not something you did to a FILE
and if you UNZIPPED anything in public
you'd be in jail for a while

LOG ON was adding wood to the fire
HARD DRIVE was a long trip on the road
a MOUSE PAD was where a mouse lived
and a BACKUP happened to 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 pad 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
