troglodyte
<jargon> (Commodore) 1. A hacker who never leaves his cubicle. The term
"Gnoll" (from Dungeons & Dragons) is also reported.
2. A curmudgeon attached to an obsolescent computing environment. The
combination "ITS troglodyte" was flung around some during the Usenet and e-mail
wringle-wrangle attending the 2.x.x revision of the Jargon File; at least one of
the people it was intended to describe adopted it with pride.
