Slightly OT for those of us who started on Tandy Hardware

[Fairlight]

I can go you one better...

My best friend, bless him, back in our university days got into *nix
slightly later than I did.  He changed his password on his shell account to
^Skullz.  Then he wondered for a few days why his terminal froze up every
time he logged in.

Think about it.  :)

I could not help but laugh when he told me what he'd done.  It was
completely forgiveable, methinks!  He's never lived that down, even though
we have had parity for 20+ years.
