Subject: Dr. Seuss on Computers



>What if Dr. Seuss wrote technical manuals?
>
>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 icons put your window in the trash,
>And the data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
>Then your situation is hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!
>
>If the label on your cable on the gable on your house,
>Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
>But your packets want to tunnel to 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,
>'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the machine's gonna hang!
>
>When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
>And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
>Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
>Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your Mom.
