Talk (software)
talk is a Unix text chat program, originally allowing messaging only between the users logged on to one multi-user computer—but later extend to allow chat to users on other systems.
Although largely superseded by IRC and other modern systems, it is still included with most Unix-like systems today, including Linux, BSD systems and Apple's OSX.
Famous quotes containing the word talk:
“George Peatty: Tell me something, wouldya Sherry? Just tell me one thing. Why did you ever marry me anyway?
Sherry Peatty: Oh, George. When a man has to ask his wife that, well, he just hadn’t better, that’s all. Why talk about it? Maybe it’s all to the good in the long run. After all, if people didn’t have headaches what would happen to the aspirin industry?”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
