That was fun! I read about a file today called /dev/zero that contains an
endless stream of zeros. This piqued my interest: "What does this look
like," I thought. So I typed 'jpico /dev/zero' and guess what happened!
NOTHING.

The enter went to the next line but nothing happened. No pretty colors and
prompt.

What use is this device?
