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.
Even at conferences, the hacking lounges provide only the barest flavor of
what's going on here. Though I still see the cool thing I want to use, it's
often painful to glance over people's shoulders... Some code can't be
unseen :)

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.
