Steven: Once un-helpful to Linux n00bs
- One minute read - 68 wordsI found a chat transcript I saved from IRC circa 1999.
In it a young n00b called “Operator” asks some very rudimentary questions
("what’s telnet?"). Ultimately we point him in the right direction, but
there’s some good laughs had along the way - especially when we invite him to
visit Murray’s testing machine (127.0.0.1). He’s hesitant, but eventually he
starts to ping Murrays’ machine.
