When I was a lad, everyone used [[BBS]] chat. It was wonderful, it was great, it was amazing. I could go on about it forever, but I won't. If you knew someone was logged on, but they weren't in [[BBS]] chat, you would then use "write" to send a message to them. Nobody uses "write" any more, but trust me, it's very messy. Sometime back then, "hey" was discovered, and quickly, "write" was abandoned in favour of "hey" in sending a message to someone's screen. Soon thereafter, chat was taken away completely (excuse me a moment while I cry), and hey flourished. It hasn't looked back. You only need to check the process list (ps -af | grep hey) to see how popular this method of communication has become. | |||
