> There were hacker's a surfing. Nerds? Yeah, you bet.
> The e-mails were stacked by the modem with care,
> In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
>
> The newbies were nestled all snug by their screens,
> While visions of Java danced in their dreams.
> My wife on the sofa and me with a snack,
> We just settled down at my rig (it's a Mac).
>
> When out in the Web there arose such a clatter,
> I jumped to the site to see what was the matter.
> To a new page my Mac flew like a flash,
> Then made a slight gurgle. It started to crash!!
>
> I gasped at the thought and started to grouse,
> Then turned my head sideways and clicked on my mouse.
> When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
> My Mac jumped to a page that wasn't quite clear.
>
> When the image resolved, so bright and so quick,
> I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!
> More rapid than mainframes, more graphics they came,
> Then Nick glanced toward my screen, my Mac called them by
> name;
>
> "Now Compaq! Now Acer!", my speaker did reel;
> "On Apple! On Gateway!" Santa started to squeal!
> "Jump onto the circuits! And into the chip!
> Now speed it up! Speed it up! Make this thing hip!"
>
> The screen gave a flicker, he was into my "RAM",
> Then into my room rose a full hologram!
> He was dressed in all red, from his head to his shoes,
> Which were black (the white socks he really should lose).
>
> He pulled out some discs he had stored in his backpack.
> Santa looked like a dude who was rarin' to hack!
> His eyes, how they twinkled! His glasses, how techno!
> This ain't the same Santa that I used to know!
>
> With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head,
> Santa soon let me know I had nothing to dread.
> He spoke not a word, gave my Mac a quick poke,
> And accessed my C drive with only a stroke.
>
> He defragged my hard drive, and added a "DIMM",
> Then threw in some cool games, just on a whim!
> He worked without noise, his fingers they flew!
> He distorted some pictures with Kai's Power Goo!
>
> He updated Office, Excel and Quicken,
> Then added a screensaver with a red clucking chicken!
> My eyes widened a bit, my mouth stood agape,
> As he added the latest version of Netscape.
>
> The drive gave a whirl, as if it were pleased,
> St. Nick coyly smiled, the computer appeased.
> Then placing his finger on the bridge of his nose,
> Santa turned into nothing but ones and zeros!
>
> He flew back into my screen and through my uplink,
> Back into the net with barely a blink.
> But I heard his sweet voice as he flew from my sight,
> "Happy surfing to all, and to all a good byte!"
