Just brought back memories.

When I was in college in the 1980s/1990s, in my OS class, the
instructor told of a time when he was walking down a hallway and could
read a coworker's password taped to his terminal.  (note: terminal,
not monitor, he was referring to a decade earlier)

His telling of the story was much more humorous that I can't reproduce
here in text.

Thanks for the smile.
