I want a new computer

But I'm getting all upset:

There are too many options

So I don't know what to get.

 

A laptop or a tablet,

An i-Pad or a Mac:

The choice, it seems, is endless

But there's something they all lack.

 

They're all so darned new-fangled

But clearly cannot cope

With my docs in older formats;

It really is no joke!

 

I just want a new computer

That's like my old one, see,

Which won't muck up my archives.

Do others think like me?

 

All swish and techie gadgets

Seem fine, until you try

To do those things you used to;

It nearly makes me cry.

 

I don't want to take ages

Reformatting my stuff

So Windows 8 can read it;

I've almost had enough.

 

Why can't they make computers

Do what I want them to,

Just like the one I'm ditching?

Is it the same for you?
