  1. It's the birthday of the man who gave us The Wizard of Oz, L(yman) Frank Baum, (books by this author) born in Chittenango, New York. He moved to Aberdeen, South Dakota and then to Chicago, where his first children's story, Father Goose, was a big success in 1899. Thereupon he submitted Wizard of Oz to his publisher. It came out in 1900. It was produced as a musical extravaganza in 1901 on the stage in Chicago.

  2. Life Before Computers

    An application was for employment

    A program was a TV show

    A cursor used profanity

    A keyboard was a piano!

    Memory was something you lost with age

    A CD was a bank account

    And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy

    You hoped no one found out!

    Compress was something you did to garbage

    Not something you did to a file

    And if you unzipped anything in public

    You’d be in jail for quite a while!

    Log on was adding wood to a fire

    Hard drive was a long trip on the road

    A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

    And a backup happened to your commode!

    Cut you did with a pocket knife

    Paste you did with glue

    A web was a spider’s home

    And a virus was the flu!
