Technical Hell Once More

This past week, I've worked on a computer project here at Park Sierra.  Converting an old TV announcement program to a PC based system, to make it look like a Powerpoint slide show.

After discovering that the old computer we chose did not work so well, I purchased a new one.  And spent all day today setting it up. 

Upon finally returning home, I felt inspired to write this song.  To the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad.  And dedicated to my friend Robert, who spends his days in such toil.  I feel his pain.

I've been working on computers,
All the live long day.
I've been working on computers,
And the time just passed away.

Can't you see the Windows loading,
Starts up, then locks up on the screen.
Can't you hear the user groaning,
"I lost my work.  I feel I'm gonna scream."


(Chorus)
Working on PCs,
Working on PCs,
Working on them 
Night and da-a-ay,
Working on PCs,
Working on PCs,
Maybe they will work,
If I pray.

I've been working on Win7,
Looking for the things I used to know,

(In Vista and XP.)
I've been working on the Linux too,

Window doesn't like it,
Oh no no.


Can't you see the Windows loading,
Starts up, then locks up on the screen.
Can't you hear the techies groaning,
"I lost my work.  I feel I'm gonna scream."


And I'm going back for more tomorrow.
