I'll let the enormous stupidity of that remark stand on its own. Ah, you're back. That'll teach ya to leave your computer unattended. I appreciate the compliment, whoever it was from. I don't leave my computer unattended. I do, but I unplug the wire that goes from the main frame to the modem. When disconnected from the outside world, it can't be impregnated....... |

As I recall the Operating System was pretty basic ... heck, it might even have been BASIC. You'd give it a command and if it was successful the prompt would say, "Ready" meaning it was ready for the next command. If you typed something it didn't recognize it would come back with an error message like "That command cannot be completed" or something similar. You could abbreviate the commands because it only recognized the first three letters so SCR meant the Screen command and HEL might mean Help. Anyway, this one guy I heard about was having a helluva time communicating with this beast and he got so flustered he started typing in cuss words. He'd suggest something obscene and the computer would dutifully reply with, "That command cannot be completed." Finally, at wit's end, he typed, "Screw you!" The computer answered, "Ready." Snoorfff! Snicker! Choke! OK! I can breathe again. Everybody return to your previous positions. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Early days? http://dcl.openvms.org/ As I recall the Operating System was pretty basic ... heck, it might even have been BASIC. Hmmm, you obviously don't recall well. It was one of the most advanced OS's ever. You'd give it a command and if it was successful the prompt would say, "Ready" meaning it was ready for the next command. Urban myth. It said whatever you wanted it to say. My prompt for a long time was a crocodile in character matrix. three letters so SCR meant the Screen command and HEL might mean Help. Akshally, SCR was never part or the whole of a command in DCL: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/83fina..._contents.html Anyway, this one guy I heard about was having a helluva time communicating with this beast and he got so flustered he started typing in cuss words.

Never get in the way of a good urban myth... |

Never get in the way of a good urban myth... Well, that part is not urban legend; probably happened just as related. Reminds me of the mainframe I used as a student back in the 19-ought-80s, a Honeywell DPS-8. Some of the OS code was obviously written by wisenheimers. I remember writing FORTRAN programs with "GOTO" statements in them (The horror!). If you named the target of the GOTO statement "JAIL" (hence "GOTO JAIL" in the program), when you executed (ran) your program, the output printout would respond with: Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. (I guess this is what's technically called an "Easter egg", no?) -- The phrase "jump the shark" itself jumped the shark about a decade ago. - Usenet |

Hey, I even found an online reference for this: http://www.sanitarium.net/jokes/getjoke.cgi?63 With the FORTRAN compiler under the CP-V operating system on Xerox Sigma computers, the program: 10 assign 10 to jail goto jail Would elicit the diagnostic: Go directly to jail.
