I have fond memories of the "public terminal" room that was somewhere
on the 4th or 5th floor of building 2 at Murray Hill. Never knew who
you'd run into there.
In
fairness to them, I don't know how you learn the good stuff outside
of a terminal room. I learned so much by watching the screen change
and going "WTF? How did you do that?"
There is only so much you can stuff into a manual.
Indeed. But this can be taught; however, it seems that many of the
younger generation aren't interested in learning it. As Clem noted,
losing the terminal room has had a negative impact on learning.
