Technology Humor If the Easter Bunny owned Microsoft ????? For kids (and adults) By Lon Hosford

Memory and storage would be measured in JBs (Jelly Beans). In 1998 you needed about 32 MJBs of memory and 5 GJBs of storage to keep up. There would be a peep not a mouse as a pointing device. Files would be called eggs. Instead of opening a file, you crack an egg. Instead of saving a file, you lay an egg. Menu choices are Egg Crack, and Egg Lay. There is also Egg LayAs for various egg types. (This terminology adequately describes most of my files now.) Read only files are called hard boiled. A rotten egg is an unreadable file. Of course the eggs are stored in the basket (formally called the hard drive). Instead of your computer crashing, you say you scrambled it. Instead of booting your computer, you hop it. Your computer would be exceptionally good at multiplying. Floppy disks and CDROMs are all made of chocolate. Printouts are called droppings. Insteady of joy sticks, you have joy bunnys. Yes, you use the ears. Software upgrades, thankfully, would only occur once per year. That is on Easter Sunday. Best of all, you pay for everything with carrots.
