<h1>The 'ltin' Program</h1>
<p>
Typing 'ltin' at the prompt will bring up skynet's own
user conferencing system. This is a group of discussion
areas where skynet's users can read other peoples ideas
and opinions on many different subjects and add some of
their own. These topics are not just computer related,
but also include music, hobbies, films and TV, jokes
and other areas where skynet's users can exchange ideas
and ask for and receive help.
<p>
When you type 'ltin' at the command prompt you see a
screen like this one:<br>
<table border=1><tr><td><pre>
