Started a new job 2 weeks ago. Had some paperwork to finish up with HR and I walked into a lady's office and saw this THING on one of her monitors. I don't know if "DOS" is the right term but it had the black background with red white and that lime green lettering and numbers. I asked if she had to tab to get through the fields - Yes she does.
