Notes for Finger V46.1.03 from: Rand P. Hall rand@merrimack.edu (csnet) Director, Academic Computing 617.683.7111 Merrimack College 315 Turnpike Rd. "There is elegance in simplicity." North Andover, Mass. 01845 - Kimball S. Maddocks ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlike V41.1.18, Finger now compiles without errors. That evidently bothered some people. 785 and 8650 CPUs are now differentiated from 780s and 8600s. Location by LAT server and port is now supported. For example, YOMAMA VAX 11/785, VMS V4.6.

Tourist, n., a newcomer to the world of computing. Origin - like *real* tourists, a computer tourist just wanders around doing nothing in particular. They're just seeing the sights and often ask for directions leading them to the common attractions. Ex. "Where is the phone?", "Where does one pickup one's mail?" Touristic, adj., typical of a tourist (q.v.), "A touristic line of questioning will not lead you into a discussion of kernel mode." A sample Rebuild_DB.Com created by REGISTER.
