Which Switch Is Which

I’m thinking navigation
     Not in the naval sense
I’m helming my computer
     And feeling rather dense

My “device”, as it’s NOW known
     With its updates, Apps and Drives
Is enough to “drive’ a person
     To “update” a case of hives

Should I want to make a copy
     Sure, just press “Command C”
Yet to paste it in my poem
     I CAN”T press “Command P”

I have to memorize the keys
    The “Alts’, the “Shifts” and such
and try to not to delete my work
     with one unlucky touch!     

I’ve really gotten better
     Should give my self some credit
But then I realize, Good Grief!
     Now I have to edit!

Haha, great rhyme Mike, it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep changing things so you could at least get used to it, technology is moving far too fast for my liking.
