 (???) |              | The finger program was written in 1971 by Les Earnest for   |
 (???) |              | the time-sharing, mainframe OS appropriately named WAITS.   |
 (???) |              |                                                             |
 (???) |              | For perspective: the first computers were being connected,  |
 (???) |              | in 1969, to the newly developed ARPANET. The Network Control|
 (???) |              | Protocol was implemented in 1970. In 1971, the first ARPANET|
 (???) |              | network mail was sent. (source: wikipedia)                  |
 (???) |              |                                                             |

 (???) |              | 2.0 was released with an internet interface. These dates say|

 (???) |              | Lynx can also be found on an inspiring number of platforms. |

 (???) |              | Included here because: (1) Direct Finger support, (2) it's a|

 (???) |              | Lengthy install, lots of bits. Final binary was only 8.3mbs |
 (???) |              | but coupled with many supporting libraries. Worth it! I like|
 (???) |              | having another Graphical Finger/Gopher/Gemini client.       |

 (???) |              | Last update 2017 but works great as a finger client (tested:|
