Not really "new", in the scheme of things. Over 30 years ago, some bored prgrammer wrote something for one of the mainframes of the day (ICL? IBM? Burroughs?) called "Robin Hood and Friar Tuck". They were two programs that monitored each other, occasionally printing cheeky messages to the console. Eventually, the (night-shift) operator would notice, and delete one of them. The console dialogue then went something like this: FRIAR: HELP ME SIR ROBIN, I AM UNDER ATTACK! ROBIN: FEAR NOT, BRAVE FRIAR, I SHALL RESCUE YOU! And so one restarted the other. The only way to remove this harmless jape (if you didn't know the right command) was to IPL the box, and it was a brave operator who did that... -- Dave
