An Apple was a fruit, a Mac was a raincoat, a mouse was an unwelcome visitor to the house, a terminal was where the bus finished its journey, spiders created the Web, Windows we’re for looking out to see if the Cloud was blocking the Sun, a memory stick was probably my teacher’s cane, and I do wish we hadn’t gone all PC. – Yours, etc,
