As I renistall Panther for the second time on my Ti,, I came up with a wee poem:
Don't install Norton Antivirus,
It acts like the Hanta Virus
Short, sweet, accurate!

Here's my poem:
Why install Anti-Virus on a Mac,
It's like wearing sunglasses when it's pitch-black.

I like the haiku version more
I installed Norton,
antivirus plus panther;
is a reinstall.

One more haiku, if I may:
Threads about Norton
Keep driving home the message:
"Not wanted on Macs."

Some poems are fun
Most of them just suck a lot

I just bought Panther
It's not installed on my mac
I am afraid to

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

Improved snappiness
The one thing Mac users crave
Go ahead, try it!

not a crime, but
wasting time
reading, then writing
bad rhyme
please no more!
bugs galore
drown in sobs
where's steve jobs?

How about the limmerick:
With Panter installed on my drive
I saw Norton Utilites contrive
to eat my directories
like kids at confectories
it left nary a b-tree alive.

If you have Panther
But not installed on your mac
It sucks to be you

I wonder as I ponder
Installing Panther on my Drive;
will my apps and utilities
all suddenly fail to thrive?
Oh, whatever, it's just an OS . . .

I sit alone in my dorm,
Continually defying the norm,
Typing on my white laptop,
Instead of a missions workshop.
Waiting for my next OS,
For my Educational version, Oh yes!
Soon I will have fun with expose
But not today
You see I live in rural Manitoba now,
surrounded by chicken, pig and cow.
But when it is finally shipped,
I will not sit in sack cloth ripped!
For I shall install ten point three,
Oh glory be!

It screws up my hard drive,
Quite unexpectedly.
I'm off to reinstall it,
In fits of rage.

This reminds me of an email I wrote to the folks at Network Operations (NetOps) at my college when the Internet at my house went down in one of our many blizzards up here... Things you need to know to understand this are as follows:
- Our Internet link was high-bandwidth wireless coming from a (rather unreliable) dish on top of one of the buildings on campus.
- The network on campus is run by NetOps, who work at the CCC (Campus Computer Center).
Here's the email I sent:
In the Campus Center, here I write,
engaging in IMs and random hacking.
In my dorm glows monitor light
But comfort there is sorely lacking.
It's not the snow, or frigid air
That keeps me distant from my lair.
I've but one cause to don my jacket.
It's really all about a packet.
It didn't reach my port, you see;
I soon began to see the signs,
And wondered if the CCC
Uses RFC-1149.
Now through the snow and sleet and rain
I've found myself some 'Net again
To ask you guys to fix this thing
So I can surf before next Spring.
I'm sure you're already well aware
Of every outage great and small;
But about that thing up in the air
Atop the roof of Alden hall:
It's been much better this school year;
No longer do I live in fear.
But surely you fine folks must know
It doesn't work when covered in snow.

Roses are red,
Panthers are black.
And once you go black,
You never go back.

our network between buildings is wireless too... really sucks...

My external hard drive
tried to tangle with Panther
Alas it is now toast

Install ten point three
Did it make your Kernel flee?
Panics are all he sees.
