"Okay, is anyone around?"
"What? Ummm, no why?"
"Alright, when I tell you to, hit the winterm."
"What?"
"Yeah, they just get stuck sometimes and need a good slap."
"Really?"
"I mean if nothing else, it'll make you feel a bit better?"
"Okay" *thud sound*
*terminate hung process*
"That worked?!?"
"Yup. It may not every time though, so don't hesitate to call again."
"Thanks!"
LOL


So just how many here even remember the good old terminal days? Was a whole different world of computer use.
