However, as a sysadmin, every so often I feel the
primal urge to "get
even" with the machines that are a constant pain in my
arse.
Disassembling
a semi-functional Wang PC with a splitting maul is very cathartic when
things get to that point.
Does anyone still have that classic cover from an early issue of
Interface Age? The one where the programmer has just buried a fire axe
in an ASR-33 teletype.
That's one every TTY user can identify with, watching your listing
slowly crawl across the page at 10 CPS.
