I wore my RTFM shirt today in reverence to the days when nobody asked you
what it meant.
My first inet access was on a dial up shell to a Solaris on a full T3...what
fun. The local newspaper (nando.net) gave free shell accounts to all the
middle school kids. What were they thinking? I still vividly remember the
first time the sysadmin WJS, Mr. William J Shamblin killed my account! lol
sigh...
