At first, I thought it was just some named thing, but then I saw it IS named after our Frog!

WHAT IS KERMIT?
Kermit is an extensible file transfer protocol first developed at Columbia University in New York City in 1981 for transferring text and binary files without errors between diverse types of computers over potentially hostile communication links, and it is a suite of communications software programs from the Kermit Project at Columbia University. The Kermit protocol and software are named after Kermit the Frog, star of the television series, The Muppet Show; the name Kermit is used by permission of Henson Associates, Inc. :smile:

Over the years, the Kermit Project has grown into a worldwide cooperative nonprofit software development effort, headquartered at and coordinated from Columbia University.

This is hilarious!

www.drlovemonkey.com (if it's still working). This guy used to do these comics on a website long ago, then collected them here.

I made him a sock-monkey-puppet like the one in the strips, and Muley can be seen with it in the photo galleries somewhere at www.midsouthcartoonists.com.

This was all under the premise that "monkeys is funny."
