BY THE TIME I WAS IN FIFTH GRADE, I HAD MOSTLY TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO TOUCHTYPE EXCEPT THAT I HADN'T YET FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THE SHIFT KEYS. SO I ALWAYS TYPED EVERYTHING WITH CAPS LOCK ON, BECAUSE I FIGURED LOWER CASE WASN'T SO IMPORTANT ANYWAY BECAUSE THERE WERE STILL OLD APPLE II MACHINES KICKING AROUND SCHOOL THAT COULD ONLY TYPE UPPER-CASE.
I GOT BUSTED FOR IT IN COMPUTER CLASS. WE HAD TO TYPE A STORY. I WAS SO PROUD BECAUSE I WAS SEVERAL PAGES AHEAD OF THE OTHER KIDS WHO WERE HUNTING AND PECKING LIKE AMATEURS WHEN THE TEACHER LOOKED OVER MY SHOULDER AND SAID "YOU CAN'T TYPE WITH THE CAPS LOCK KEY ON, YOU HAVE TO START OVER". AND SINCE WE WERE USING SOME CHILD-FRIENDLY WORD PROCESSOR ON MAC LCIIS WHICH DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEATURE TO ALGORITHMICALLY CHANGE THE CASE, I HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND RE-TYPE EVERYTHING.

HEH, THERE WAS THIS THING ON OLD SUN UNIX WHERE IF YOU ENTERED YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD IN ALL CAPS IT WOULD ASSUME YOU WERE COMING FROM A TERMINAL THAT COULDN'T GENERATE LOWER CASE LETTERS. THERE WAS A PLAN FOR THIS, LOWER CASE TURNS INTO CAPS AND CAPS TURN INTO BACKSLASH CAPS (OR VICE-VERSA).

CAPSLOCK FACT OF THE DAY:
โuppercaseโ is the original form of Roman lettering where "lowercase" was added for ease of reading. Etymology: from the cases where the printed types were stored: majuscules in the upper, minuscules in the lower.
YES THAT IS WEIRD BUT IT IS TRUE

A MEMORY THAT TROUBLES ME IS NOTICING SOMEBODY IN HIGH SCHOOL CAPITALIZING EVERY WORD IN A POST AND I SAID "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT THAT'S INCORRECT AND SORT OF ANNOYING TO READ" AND THEY SAID "I LIKE IT" AND I CAN'T DECIDE WHICH OF US WAS RIGHT

But what about {\} โช[\/] |_0โ|< |)/-\`/, which I'm going to suddenly posit should be a day where people construct letters haphazardly using random symbols harvested from among digits, math and programming symbols, and apparently a couple of unicode characters?

> THERE WAS THIS THING ON OLD SUN UNIX
I THINK IT'S A SYSV THING. AT LEAST INTERACTIVE UNIX HAD IT AND THAT THING WAS SYSV THROUGH AND THROUGH. WAS IT ACTUALLY A THING ON SUNOS OR JUST SOLARIS?

majick, circa 1989 Sun 3/50 (and 3/60) workstations on the console before starting up X manually. I believe SunOS did the same over TCP/TTY boxes from VT100-ish terminals into the bigger rack mounted Sun systems.

So, there's this kid out in the street doing jumping jacks on a manhole. "Fourteen, fourteen, fourteen, fourteen. " A passer by asks what they're doing "I'm playing a game, wanna give it a try?" The passer by accepts. "Fourteen, fourteen, fourteen, i don't get this game." The kid yanks the manhole cover and the passer by falls down the hole. "Fifteen, fifteen, fifteen....."
(Sorry, jumping jacks.....)
