This is another
item that has been floating around the internet. Thanks to Theresa
Rives Wood (1975) for the contribution. The recommendation
is to read
this it out
loud (to yourself if you like).
Why Computers Sometimes Crash! by Dr. Seuss.
(Read this to yourself aloud - it's great!)
If
a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a
very last resort, and the access 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 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,
'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.
When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code
instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be
sure to tell your Mom!
