I don't have an motd.

It turns out that most people who run multiuser desktop systems tend only to have one user.

>>7 Multiuser desktop computers are still common(poor families/schools/offices), its the idea of "time limited computing".
What i see is an anachronism from times where computers were expensive and were shared between people.
Every session was limited and couldn't be wasted by user. Like a RPG, with Motd serving
as "Greetings hero, you're on quest to %s and here is %some advice%" with quest being their use of the system.
Now everyone and their dog has a desktop, laptop, netbook and/or PDA used anytime, anywhere without stupid restrictions(though if you use clouds/thin clients/mainframes you might be limited).

All most men really want in life is a wife, a house, two kids and a car,
a cat, no maybe a dog.  Ummm, scratch one of the kids and add a dog.
Definitely a dog.


Waste of screen space.

I love it when kids think they're explaining something of historical interest that everyone already knows.
