Who said us Souf Efrikans aren’t that computer savvy? We get it dudes and dudettes! We are “with it” when it comes to computers. Just look at how we make sense of it all – computer terms explained the Souf Efrikan way…
Monitor- keeping an eye on the braai (braai = BBQ)
Download- get the firewood off the bakkie (bakkie = pickup truck)
Hard drive- trip back home without cold beers
Keyboard- where you hang the bakkie and bike keys
Windows- you shut it when it’s cold
Screen- you shut it in mosquito season
Byte- What mosquitoes do
Bit- What mosquitoes did
Megabyte- what mosquitoes at the lake does
Chips- bar snacks
Micro chips- what’s left in the bag of chips
Modem- what you did to the lawn
Dot matrix- Oom Jan Matrix’s wife (Oom = term used for odd old guy we all know “Old Uncle”)
Laptop- where the cat sleeps
Software- plastic knives and forks you get from KFC
Hardware- real stainless steel knives and forks
Mouse- what eats the grain in the shed
Cursor- the old bloke that swears a lot
Search engine- what you do when the bakkie won’t start
Yahoo- what you say when the bakkie finally goes
Upgrade- a steep hill
User- the neighbour that keeps borrowing things from you
Network- when you have to repair your own fishing net
Internet- complicated fishnet repair method
Netscape- when fish maneuvers out of reach of net
Online- when you hang out the washing
Web- what spiders make
Website- the shed or under the veranda
Mainframe- what holds up the shed
Server- the person at the pub that brings out lunch
Main server- the bloke at the pub that gives you beer
You see how computer literit… litarite… literite… litterrit… dammit – you see how we know computer hey?
