/ter' mi-nak`/ [Caltech, ca. 1979] Any malfunctioning computer terminal. A common failure mode of Lear-Siegler ADM 3a terminals caused the "L" key to produce the "K" code instead complaints about this tended to look like "Terminak #3 has a bad keyboard. Pkease fix." See AIDX, {Nominal Semidestructor}, {Open DeathTrap}, {ScumOS}, {sun-stools}, Telerat, HP-SUX. [Jargon File] (1995-04-14)
