That's funny -- for the following reason: the second computer I used,
in 1972, was a PDP-10, and the text editor I used was called E.  When
you started it up, it said:


     *****************************

      This is the Yale editor, E!

     *****************************


and when you did something illegal, it said:


     *****************************

             No can do.

     *****************************


which lingered on the screen for a second or two before your document
reappeared.

Just typing those out and looking at them is a quasi-Proustian
experience for me.... :-)
