I used to get a kick out of how the lil 'running man' in SMIT would fall over if a command failed :-P More sense of humour then I gave IBM credit for :-D

Heh - I can't believe someone actually filmed it :-) Thanks!

IBM GUIs were always pretty interesting. The cursor in early ThinkPad BIOS was a bird that flapped its wings.

Smit happens(tm)

Though I always preferred it from the command line (appropriately, the binary is named smitty: see, IBM does have a sense of humour).

yeah it was actually a TUI. the screenshot looks right but the name "smit" doesn't sound familiar. i want to say it had a three letter name (this was circa 1996).

motif... lol
