There must be... fifty ways to lose your data
Posted
05:19 PM
Pressed delete by mistake, Jake,
Parity error in RAM, Sam,
Crashed your disk head, Fred,
Got a bad sector, Hector,
There's a glitch on the bus, Gus,
Had a power spike, Ike,
Your motherboard's bad, Tad,
Got a loose cable, Mable,
General Protection Fault, Walt,
You corrupted the file, Kyle,
Trashed your FAT, Pat,
Forgot where it is, Liz,
Outta disk space, Ace,
They took it away, Ray,
Control-Alt-Delete, Pete,
A virus got in, Lynn,
Backup won't restore, Thor,
There was a lightning storm, Norm,
Lost the CD, Lee,
Format's all wrong, Wong,
Electricity's gone, Fawn,
(Help me out here - add your own - Billy)
(Oh, and the reason I posted this is because I'm running out of good geek jokes and reduced to posting stuff I've made up myself. I've received several geek jokes at , but almost all turned out to be variations of ones I've already posted. More offerings are welcome, and you can read the existing ones by clicking on Saturday entries on previous months of the calendar. Almost all Saturday entries are geek jokes.)

There's no support, Mort,

The licensing's gnu, Lou,
Nothing is free, Lee,
Except the CD.
