The Dr. Suess Computer Manual
Have you ever wondered what might have happened if Dr Seuss wrote technical manuals for computers............

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 disc 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 our window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation is hopeless and your systems gonna crash!

If the label on your cable on the gable at your house,
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packet wants 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 suckers gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
and the micocode 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!

Sometimes I think Dr. Suess did make these Machines! :wink:

Sue my dear angel I just love this and also agree with what you said sweet FairyTale about how sometimes it really does seem "fer sure" like Dr. Suess in fact did create these crazy machines that we somehow just can't seem to live without. :wink:

Thank you so much dear Sue for posting this and giving me such a good laugh! :lol:
