B00T it ------- by: A guy who wasn't dumb enough to attach his name to this trash (with apologies to Michael Jackson) You're processing some words when your keyboard goes dead, Ten pages in the buffer, should've gone to BED, The system just crashed, but don't lose your head, Just B00T it, just B00T it You better think fast, better do what you can, Better read the manual or call your system man, Don't wanna fall behind in the race with Japan, So B00T IT Get the sysop to B00T IT, B00T IT, Even though you'd rather shoot it Don't be up-set, it's only some glitch, All that you do is flip a **** switch, YEAH B00T IT, B00T IT, Get right down and reinstitute it Don't get excited, all is not lost, CP/M, Unix, or MS/DOS Just B00T IT, B00T IT, boot it, boot it.... You gotta have your printout for the meeting at two, The system says your job's at the head of the queue Right then the thing DIES, but you know what to do, Just B00T IT You always get so worried when the system runs slow, And when it finally crashes, man you feel so low But computers make mistakes (they're only human ya know), So B00T IT Call the sysop to B00T IT, B00T IT, Go ahead and reinstitute it If you're not lucky grab the book off the shelf, But if you are, then it'll do it itself Just B00T IT, B00T IT, Then go kill the guy who screwed it! Operating systems are built to bounce back, Whether it's a Cray or a Radio Shack Just B00T IT! B00T IT! (adapted from Nutworks, Issue 1, Volume 1, Jan. 1985) (Nutworks is pulled in off Bitnet)
