Finger is just a small amount of program code that enables you to look for people inside other peopleīs computers. Letīs say that you know that a friend of yours has an E-mail address at capitalist.com, a big internet provider in Germany.
With Finger you visit the address capitalist.com, and check to see if there are any subscribers in that computer with the name you are interested in. You write in the name and get back lists of people with that name. Each name has a lot of information about it: street address, Zip code, Telephone number, etc.
