My first experience with QGDDM, from when I started on a S/38 in 1984/5, is wondering "What is this Q-God-D**m thing they keep talking about?".
It did have some interesting stuff for the technology at the time.
Then, I learned about "Stripper Twitter" - STRPRTWTR. Fond memories.

And the only thing on the list that I even recognize is SDA, and I
have boxes at my disposal that run SDA just fine.
