Bronze starfish everywhere! I don't remember which OS it is/was, but there was a function where one could check to see if a person was on the system (mainframe days, with user terminals) by using the command "finger". Tongue

ETA- given the apparent vein in the left arm, this might be a pic of a guy. Just sayin'. Big Grin
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Oh, right. It's been ~26 years, and I never did learn it. I just remember the guy going on about fingering someone. Rolleyes "root" is an OZ thing, though. We didn't have that as a thing.

ETA- we have our own perverse vernacular, thankyouverymuch. Hmph
