- sctb 12y agoThanks, we updated the title.
- syntheticnature 12y agoPretty sure it's older than that I recalled seeing it in this book, which Amazon gives a date of 1983 on (fits well enough with when I recall coming across the book in a public library): http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Dictionary-Guide-Computer-Wizards/dp/0060910828/ http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Dictionary-Guide-Computer-Wiza... Also, it's in the 1.5.0 file: http://jargon-file.org/archive/jargon-1.5.0.dos.txt http://jargon-file.org/archive/jargon-1.5.0.dos.txt
- pimlottc 12y agoInteresting, it seems to have disappeared between 1.5.0 and 2.2.1!
- syntheticnature 12y agoThat is interesting -- I didn't check the 2.x revisions, and it only seems to be in 1.5.0 -- though I didn't try to go through all the intermediate files, simply stopping at a failure to find it in the previous one.
