I love it. So old school! Back in the early 90s in the university computer lab, you could jump on a machine and see who else was logged in (either in the room, or remotely) and use all the old Unix multi-user commands like who, w, last, finger, msg, wall, write, talk...

Isn't there a theory that most web services today are just versions of standard Unix tools?
