This is the COMPUTER SONGS COLLECTION V1.0, containing songs and poems about computers. I've split the text into five parts because some hosts don't like long postings (crash goes the system :-). The parts all start with "***BEGIN PART ***" and end with (you guessed) "***END PART ***" so it should be no problem to extract the original. Comments (e.g. further information concerning authors, titles etc) and new contributions are always welcome. Please mail them to hanssgen@ira.uka.de - don't post them to a.f.c. since I don't read this group regularily. And here's the list of titles, for a quick overview: 0x0d2c A Better Model A is for Apple Addicted To Vi The Alternative Wall Another Glitch in the Call Another One A Time for DWIM BBN Superlisp Berkeley 4.3 Boot It Both Ways, Now The Boys of HP CRASH! goes the System CRAY-S's coolant Cycles For Nothing The Day Bell System Died The Disks of UNIX Don't Call From Home Don't Have a Conniption Emacs Wizard Every Cycle is Sacred Fork()ing on a Sun Friend of the System Gateway To Heaven HACKADU The Hacker Song The HACTRN I Could Have Tooled All Night I'm Typing Backwards for Christmas I Want a New Bug I am the very model of a Genius Computational Into the Tube JES The mighty system Just remember that you're flying o'er a disk pack....
