I really miss finger. It was quite a novelty.

  Actually true story, my future mother-in-law called me because she could not reach her daughter on the phone (no cell phones then) and knew we "somehow" knew what each other was up to. So I'm holding the phone to my ear and I can see she is logged in to the system and I say "Oh I see her, I'll just finger her to see if she is awake." I am pretty sure the next sound I heard on the telephone resulted from it being dropped from standing height and having the handset bounce on the floor. It was my first experience with the less than desirable consequences of re-using English words to describe network interactions.

    This is great! Obviously if it had a different, whizbang name, it may have caught on, right? :)
