+                   and Turing was a car
+                When Banyan was a tree
+                   and buses travelled far
+
+
+                dBase was where you ran to
+                   after you hit the ball
+                Often we were ANSI
+                   RISC aversive not at all
+
+
+                Windows were for looking out of
+                   in a Tandem, two could take a spin
+                Bridges were for crossing
+                   a frame was to keep pictures in
+
+
+                A semi-conductor was a maestro
+                   not in the big time yet
+                A port you sought in a storm
+                   fishermen used a net
+
+
+                Woody Guthrie sang of "My LAN"

+                If a cursor used four letter words
+                   a sensor cut them out

+                   was sure to raise a shout
+
+
+                Haloid perfected photocopying
+                   and thereby made a hoard
+                Then came Japanese competition
+                   and its "ox" was gored
+
+
+                Frequency was measured in cycles

+                   for bringing in the grain
+
+
+                Modelling was at fashion shows
+                   bauds were ladies of the night
+                Prompting was helping actors
+                   contesting for resources, a fight
+
+
+                Walking and chewing gum concurrently
+                   requires considerable skill

+
+
+                We had no electronic calculators
+                   just slide rules by Keuffel & Esser
+                I am still a true believer
+                   Keufel & Esser war besser
+
+
+                Chips were used for gambling
+                   von Neuman was a pup
+                Monte Carlo a place to visit
+                   squaring the circle ... well, we gave up
+
+
+                A Sprint was less than 880
+                   a relay was a team

+                   breaking up AT&T a dream
+

+                Coherent was applied to speech

+                Multi-media meant prose and song
+                   and Noel Coward was knighted

+                Cerf was found at the beach
+                   a Rose was a Rose was a Rose

+                Postscript was an afterthought
+                   joy a popsicle stick

+                We called a plotter a CAD
+                   a token ring a sham
+                A buffer was for buffing
+                   a male goat was a ram
+
+
+                The best noise supressor was ... ssh
+                   we knew little of egos and ids
+                For archival storage and encryption
+                   we looked to the pyramids
+
+
+                Now in accordance with Greenfield's Law
