Aftermath of a Computer Crash. Work Place Humor Limericks

A computer crash is no fun at all and it is at such times that we most need an infusion of computer humor. Here at Molly's Virtual Pub, our host is not fit to talk to for her computer has died and had to be replaced. Naturally, she had not backed up properly. If you back up as you should, you might read this to heartily guffaw; if you do not, to commiserate.

Next time, I'm calling Monte at DIY Computer Repair. He is a really good guy and his site offers hope for doing some simple fixes on your own.

My computer rolled over and died.
They say that the hard drive was fried
But some geek found the data
For mucho peseta
But where is my stuff? The man lied.

My new 'puter's sexy and fast
Oh gawd, I just hope it will last
Because it's a pain
To reload it again
With the software it no longer hast.

I'm certain I need to pay bills
But this mess on my desk gives me chills
There's money enough
But I can't find my stuff
Underneath all these papery hills.

An impromptu poll suggests that real people cannot find their license keys and user IDs much less the actual disks of their software programs after a computer crashes and burns. One wonders why software companies do not permit an easy way to migrate software programs from old machines to new ones and actually have the old software work? Ah, well…let us get on with some computer humor and rest assured, there will be a backup tonight.

The thing about software, I warn,
An old program "+" new platform
Will be costly for you
Buying more than a few
Version upgrades removing the thorn.

Your software, just take it from me
Will insist on its old product key
Which you've certainly lost
How much time will this cost?
Don't forget, too, that user id.

Does a computer crash make you want to cry in your beer?
