Is one of my favorites. Of course, most of you are too young to know what that means.

Is that easier than typing clear? Also, not sure why you’d say something like that about people’s age. Anyone using terminals today is often going to run into weird quirks of them being around for decades even if they’re young.

In the days before *nx, “terminal” meant a VT terminal and “clear” wasn’t a thing.
