In honor of Thanksgiving, Seth Gordon passed along the Atlas HDA. "You can get to your files all day / on Atlas' HDA / (except your thesis)"
(Definitions for readers who are not MIT alumni of a certain age: "Project Athena" is the networked computing environment at MIT. "Zephyr" is the Athena analog of Instant Messenger. "zfwrite" is a program that lets you forge the return address on Zephyr messages.)

Jaysus, Dan, they'll need more MIT footnotes than that to understand this piece.
- Todd (who works for what's left of Project Athena and found this highly amusing)
P.S. That 750 is long gone. Atlas Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
