PCs are PCs (sing along to People are People by Depeche Mode)

(NOTE: In this text the term PC is used in it's original meaning,
|
|
as Personal Computer. This should *not* be mixed up with
|
|
any particular popular, stone-age technology computer range.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PCs are PCs
|
|
So why should it be
|
|
Yours and mine communicate so awfully ??
|
|
PCs are PCs
|
|
So why should it be
|
|
We cannot interface with the RS232C ??
|
|
|
|
So they're different makes
|
|
And they're different breeds
|
|
And different PCs have different needs
|
|
You tell me that you hate this
|
|
That I've done something wrong
|
|
But I've only followed the manual
|
|
So what could I have done ?
|
|
|
|
I just can't comprehend
|
|
Why aren't the bytes
|
|
At the other end ??!?
|
|
Help me comprehend
|
|
|
|
Help me comprehend
|
|
|
|
Now it's punching
|
|
And it's clicking
|
|
And it's beeping at me
|
|
I'm relying on the salesman's guarantee
|
|
So far no bytes have surfaced
|
|
Of the ones that I sought
|
|
They just takes a while to travel
|
|
From it's RAM to the port
|
