In college (on the arpanet) I teleneted to all the hosts on the internet (cross country) and back to where I was (a major ivy university). Just for fun. Just to see how long it took for my keystrokes to return. Back then no pw was needed to do that.
To those who have never used a green terminal or teletype it was actually plenty of fun. The teletype was fun because of the noise and the tactile feeback you got and printing pounding out some output. The green terminal was fun because crt's are mesmerizing or at least they were to me. I still have one of the computer tapes that I had to buy to store the 'programs' that I wrote.
(One of the TA's in the computer center was Eric Raymond..).
