I graduated from Florida Atlantic University back around 79. As accounting major I had to take at least one computer programming course in basic.

Our computer room had dumb terminals with paper, not even a video monitor.

One night I was trying to get a small program right and was having no luck. I got frustrated and typed in the word "dumb". The computer read it as dump and started printing out tons of paper at the terminal I was working at. The computer room monitor had to run over and turn off my terminal.

I gave up on my little program and left it for another night.
