You can find stuff to break the boredom !

This is really getting off topic, but YEARS ago we had figured out hot to write
interactively to a screen when it was not general knowledge. We had a guy in 
doing some
training with a junior programer and he was another know it all (we were NOT 
mean, I'm
sure you understand the type of person I mean. There are very knowledgeable 
folks that
don't act like it, are helpful and share, and don't flaunt it in your face - 
the ones I
call know it all's are NOT like this...).

So we wrote a program to "eat" the screen that was up (no matter what screen) 
character
by character (could of course to a whole line). The junior programmer had been 
tipped
off and she excused herself and came to us and said "You're not gonna BELIEVE 
this but
the dude said it must have been something atmospheric !!" !!!

We about died, and then changed so that after it "ate" the screen, it popped up 
the word
A  T  M  O  S  P  H  E  R  I  C... Unfortunately that was intended for the next 
day and
he never came back...
