The Lyrics

Zip up my data, store that array,
Why oh why can't I save this display?
Errors on runtime causing delay,
Zip up my data, store that array.

Mister geek-nerd fix my folder,
Try reboot,
Says manual,
But my hard drive's super-fractual.

Zip up my data, compress it away,
Disk full and reeling,
Says my display.

Zipped up my data, stored that array,
My oh my now there's more room to play.
So, now I'm back online, surfin' away,
Zipped up my data, got room for days.

Zipped up my data, got room for days.

Really good one, Guy! I must be getting better at understanding these things - there's only one paragraph that I really didn't understand, and that's not you...it's me. :D 5's

There's better ways to work with overloaded hard drives. Crashing isn't one of them though. 5's!

Go ahead and zip up Data. Because if you tried that with the preceding Science Officer, he would find that highly illogical... and yet, strangely "fascinating."

Loved "super-fractual"... have to de-frac it, then I guess :-) I keep wanting to sing "Zip up my data" to "Brush up your Shakespeare"... maybe there's something there?
