Yep. I was sad to hear when Derek died.

Q, who we joked thought in binary because he had a long pause before he answered, which we assumed was part of the translation.

Do you remember the “send” program? After I decided to not be a physics major, hoping against hope that switching to CS would save me (it didn’t, my brain fried and I dropped out), I learned C and then wrote the C version (a friend wrote the original version as a script). After I left, Jer cleaned it up. In the help, it listed “tex” as an example user. That was me.

I definitely remember the send program. Instant messaging before IM was really a thing. Did you have an account on gweep.net? I think that may have gone up after you left, not sure.
