Now I wish I could take credit for coming up with this, but it came to me on one of those infamous email joke lists that we all circulate, and the original author was not identified.  However, I recently received an email indicating that this is from The Backwoods Guide to Computer Lingo by Dave Nilsen.  I've also received an email indicating that the illustrations were created by Dennis Cox at DJArt & Design (www.djart.com).
