Indeed, while hopelessly impractical and rough to common standards as a tool or game it still is very very cool as a statement!
of course if you look at it from an 'ease of use' , 'gameplay' or 'previous art' standpoint it really isn't much. Interaction is very slow, gameplay is outdated and tty existed since ancient Greece. But this isn't a game nor is it a patent application. It's just a knowledgeable pal hacking on a typewriter for hours on some Sunday afternoon because he just could and maybe nostalgia drove him to.
Therefore it's a statement and a cool one at that;-)

in that case I'm not so sure about how smart he is...
yes, I too can remember using the term app before apple came along and 'invented' it...
Probably the word got a lot more usage since the emergence of app stores (which are just fancy repositories) but surely it didn't start there.
Why is it that everything `new` for the general public has to be an apple invention lately?
I couldn't... poor misguided kid
