<< [HER] Help, i cant run my Unix terminal >>


My guess is that it was a windoze machine, and she mistakenly called it a Unix Terminal.

 

[Locutus of Board]

Ok, you beat me to it.

What type database?

 

[iamwiz82]

its a language called progress. proprietary database, the system is old, way before me, my boss, or his boss, and progress is now 4 versions ahead of it, with no going back.

omg, I know exactly what you're talking about.

I work at an ISP, and a guy calls me the other day ..

H: Hi, I'm using &quot;LIE-NUCKS&quot; to connect to you guys, and ever since I installed something called Kay-Pee-Pee-Pee, nothing works.

M: what do you mean?

H: I turn on my &quot;LIE-NUCKS&quot; machine, double click Connection, and it connects, but I can't see anything.

M: what? what have you done recently?

H: Well, I set up my Dial-Up connection and then I talked to a friend and he told me that I should move my connection to &quot;Devv-Gnull&quot; ... what does that mean?

M: hold please. .... HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

anywho, it turns out that he had set his connection to point all incoming data to /dev/null.

haha
