I'm Bringin My Box 
Copyright (C) 2000 by Steve Litt 

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.
