    Why PC's crash: Sorted

    Many of you have wondered why a computer crashes. It is usually very technical but maybe this will help. Dr Seuss explains why computers crash sometimes.

    If a packet hits his pocket on a socket on a port,
    and the bus interrupted at a very last resort,
    and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
    then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

    If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
    and the double-clicking icon puts your Window in the trash,
    and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,
    then your situation's hopeless and your systems going to hang!

    If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
    says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
    but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
    that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
    and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
    so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;
    then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
    because sure as I'm a poet, the suckers going to hang!
