<jargon> (Commodore) 1. A hacker who never leaves his cubicle.
The term "Gnoll" (from Dungeons & Dragons) is also reported.
2. A curmudgeon attached to an obsolescent computing
environment. The combination "ITS troglodyte" was flung
around some during the Usenet and e-mail wringle-wrangle
attending the 2.x.x revision of the Jargon File; at least
one of the people it was intended to describe adopted it with
pride.

this is a bit of a joke on myself, with my 13 year olds...our class is in
the basement, 2 stories down...sharing with the computer lab.....and we love
newtons... i aspire to curmugeonliness when they get out of line...
and the surprise abt robert was that he looked more like an olympian than a
newtonian....
