- For the last year or so, I have enjoyed FINGERing various computers around
- the world when bored. Most are pretty mundane, giving only userID's and
- port connections, assuming the machine allows FINGER to access it at all.
- And others, like one of our major ones here at the UW, are filled with
- 140+ non-imaginative people!
-
- Well, in my travels, one machine stands out among all others. It is the
- epitome of creativity and comraderie among its users. They seem to like
- to communicate with one another via the process names (and sometimes do
- so unintentionally, as one did in this case), which led to a very humorous
- sequence that I thought Amiga folks would enjoy). This has got to be
- the most enjoyable place to watch. I wish I could tell you where it is,
- but in asking the users mentioned in this post for permission to put this
- up here, there was some balking about mentioning the machine, which I
- promised to respect.
-
- What I found was this sequence of process names in this precise order:
-
- CB74 Why ask Why" 350ed SEND VTA9518
- II33 I_HATE_THIS_MAC 33cf8 VTA9521
- OTTO GET_AN_AMIGA 32878 NEWS *VTA9489
- POPE Smeghead ! 2ea28 EDT VTA9541
- WYATT Time4Change 3001e VTA8909
-
-
- And a postscript to this is that one of them put up "Hi, Crystal!" in
- response to all of this correspondence about my enjoyment of the pnames!
