terminak
/ter'mi-nak`/ [Caltech, ca. 1979] Any malfunctioning computer
terminal. A common failure mode of Lear-Siegler ADM 3a
terminals caused the "L" key to produce the "K" code instead;
complaints about this tended to look like "Terminak #3 has a
bad keyboard. Pkease fix." See {AIDX}, {Nominal
Semidestructor}, {Open DeathTrap}, {ScumOS}, {sun-stools},
{Telerat}, {HP-SUX}.
