November 26, 2010 - NOW it's updated

While we’re working, the CIO called.
“That needs Windows updating!” he bawled.
We kept saying, “He’s odd.”
So at 14k baud
It’s downloaded, but won’t be installed.


November 25, 2010 - Solving technical problems is what we live for

At the town where I’m making a living,
There’s an aide whose odd call I’m reliving.
Screen’s too high? You can lose
These two books. These you use

Then our user is cursed.
We must update that code in Exchange.”
