> A computer is called a "box" at my LUG
> At meetings we hack and code and debug
> We set up our networks, don't look at no clocks
> Our battle cry sounds, "I'm bringing my box".
>
> Samba, Apache, and VNC
> Let's all decide on the night's IP
> Hubs and wires to connect the flocks
> Count on a server, I'm bringin my box.

> The Windows guys just don't understand
> they still hold their meetings dry as sand
> We Linux guys are code whomping jocks
> Code is a good thing, I'm bringin my box.

> My local LUG's meeting is soon coming up
> I'm as excited as a month old pup
> My latest revision implements locks,
> Check it out people, I'm bringin my box.

> You say VB doesn't light your fire
> a coding alternative is what you desire
> Try Perl's antidote for the Microsoft pox
> And prepare to code, I'm bringin my box.

> I telnet to Joe, Tom VNC's me
> We're one big wired IP family
> I plug in whenever opportunity knocks
> Leave a port open, I'm bringin my box.

> My fast Linux apps always carry the load
> Yet Microsoft claims to have the best code
> Bill Gates still believes he's as smart as a fox
> Step aside Billy, I'm bringin my box.

> Our members are smart, the smartest around
> Linux with XML, wireless and sound
> Their antics and breakthroughs will knock off your socks
> I gotta take notes, I'm bringin my box.

> Hope to see you at our next meeting
> Get there early for adequate seating
> Everyone plays and the place really rocks
> So prepare to have fun, come bringin your box.
