The last time we were on anything like this some girl at a lesbian hackerspace
(Incredible concept btw. I know someone who met a girl there who was looking into an obscure biopolymer for DIY HRT compounding, and I also met a girl there who was looking into another obscure biopolymer for DIY HRT compounding, and they weren't the same person)
(the hackerspace no longer exists, though the lesbian bar that hosted it does)
was doing a 'let's set up an email server' workshop. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing, and I still don't. Was fun though.
Anyway I'm discovering that our Unix is rusty enough and our current job is fresh enough that my thought process inevitably goes something like this:
'Brain! We are looking at some sort of colorful text-based interface on a terminal window. How do we go back to the previous screen?'
And that's how we keep using ISPF keyboard shortcuts.
