God, does no one use Telnet anymore:

Two people next to me in the MacLab were arguing about how to use Telnet (after they opened terminal, they just tried to type their password in). I finally got bored and told them how to do it, also saying that email didn't work there either. Before, one of them was talking about how she had used telnet "once," but didn't really know how it worked and the other hadn't used it at all.

But how sad is that. Literally the first thing that I learned to do on a Mac that was different from on a PC was use telnet. These kids today with their Webmail and their Eudora don't learn Telnet anymore.

It's really too bad. Pine is roughly 8 million times faster than Webmail, FTP is by far the best way of not losing your files, and there are so many things you can do on the UNIX server than on webmail. I spent an entire summer using basically nothing but pine, sftp, pico, and pdflatex. Try doing that with webmail.

Whatever. I guess I should attempt to educate people rather than just bitching about it. Does anyone want to start a UofC for SSH RSO with me?
