Dr. Seuss on computers

Why Computers Sometimes Crash! -

by Dr. Seuss.

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!

Intro
Bill's Windows Swill
That Bill-I-Will! That Bill-I-Will! I do not like that Bill-I-Will!
"Do you like my Windows Swill?"

I do not like it Bill-I-Will. I do not like your Windows Swill.

"Would you like it here or there?"

I would not like it here or there. I would not like it anywhere. I do not like your Windows Swill. I do not like it Bill-I-Will.

"In the computer in your house? Would you select it with your mouse?"

I do not want it in my house, will not select it with my mouse. I do not like it here or there. I do not like it anywhere. I do not like your Windows Swill. I do not like it Bill-I-Will.

"Would you use it with a CISC? Would you use it in your RISC?"

Not with a CISC. Not with my RISC. Not in my house. Not with my mouse. I would not use it here or there. I would not use it anywhere. I would not use your Windows Swill. I do not like it Bill-I-Will.

"With a cable modem through a LAN? Use it ! Use it! Use more RAM! You may likeit . You will see. Try it in a new P III!"

Not with your modem or a LAN, DSL or more RAM! Not with a CISC, not with my RISC, not in my house, not with my mouse! No AMD or new P III, Bill-I-Will, YOU LET ME BE!!

"You do not like it, so you say. Try it! Try it! And you may! Try it and you may, I say!"

BILL!! If you will let me be, I will try it. You will see.

(Clickity-clickity-clic*...BOING! FREEZE! CRASH!!)

Say! HEY! I LOATHE that Windows Swill! I do! I loathe it Bill! I knew! I KNEW!
PLease remove it from my house, disconnect it from my mouse.
Keep it and your cheesy CISC, keep it and you leave my RISC.
Please pack up your new P III, return to your MONOPOLY.
Leave me with my stable Mac, close the door and don't come back.

Keep your modem and your LAN,
Your DSL, and more RAM.
Take your software and you SCRAM!!
