That's funny ;) !
I have an ole 386sx/20 running DOS 5.409c BETA on my desk that I
use as a personnal machine. I telnet into the WELL via crosstalk
from my office hear in downtown Chicago via one of our OC-3 (155
MBS) links to the Internet. (I have fiber to the Ameritech NAP (THE
Internet backbone) a block away)
To save the file (CrossTalk Mark 4) you do an ALT-C then tap the
spacebar once to on. If you miss tap you don't turn save on and if
you quicktap twice you pause it.
So the whole file scrolls along on the screen and doesn't get
saved. If I don't remember to check I do a d* then quit and lose
everything.
Since I'm multitasking on three machines plus my voicemail at the
same time, I sometimes miss a keystroke.
I should have taken piano....
