And now guyrocket is too embarrassed to admit they thought they were making a funny joke and didn’t realize they were 32 years too late to the punchline.

I was not just making a joke, amigo. I am old enough that I used this stuff back in the day. I graduated from dialing into BBSes on my Commode 64 to this stuff. And I am amazed and happy that it is still around.

Jughead is apparently still around too, and the source is up on Savannah, just been renamed to "jugtail" to avoid potential trademark issues. Dunno if anyone's actually running any instances, though.
