I was once using the generic telnet program on the library computers to check my mail on UTM (the local university) with Pine. The computer-inept librarian walked up behind me.

    * Her: (shrieking) "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???"
    * Me: "I'm checking my email--"
    * Her: "It looks like you're breaking into the computer!!"
    * Me: "No really -- I'm checking my mail."
    * Her: "But that's not HOTMAIL!!"
    * Me: "I don't use hotmail. I use--"
    * Her: "But EVERYONE uses HOTMAIL!!"
    * Me: "No, my account goes through UTM. My email account ends with--"
    * Her: "But that's not what MYYY UTM looks like!!" (apparently referring to the UTM web page)
    * Me: "Yes, I'm telnetting. It's another way of accessing--"
    * Her: "I think you better shut that off. You're breaking into the computer."
    * Me: "But I--"
    * Her: "Turn it off. I don't believe that 'checking mail' story."

90-luvun puolivälissä meistä oli ihan luonnollista lukea meilit telnet-yhteydellä (silloin ei ssh:sta tiedetty) pineä käyttäen.
