My post is borne out a story told to me when I was at Cal Poly in the late eighties. Seemed the programmer on an early campus-wide mainframe system buried DEEPLY within code a random silly lockout. At random times, a random terminal would blank out and just display a screen that said "I'm hungry". No matter what they did, they could not figure out how to bypass this lockout. Finally (and I don't recall how they figured this out) it was determined that all they needed to do was "have a cookie" and the terminal would resume right where it was. They never could find the code
I had Pick Up Stix.
That's funny Kevy.
