I understand now.
You seem to know what you are doing and know you have constraints (you are not super-honey)
That's good. Protect yourself.

I never accept a delivery date I have not agreed to in the first place. Which means I probably made the estimate. One is only stressed when the path is not clear and one has committed to a time line that one is not sure about.

I have to ask simple question here: how can I know my keyboard is a 3270 terminal or non-3270 keyboard?
just to see if there is enter key?

Get hold of a 3270 emulator and you should have all the information you need.

Is there a problem involving keyboards with no enter key? 
|
|
|

3270 compatible keyboards will typically have two rows of function keys - although early keyboards will have none.
Can you give me some more information about this keyboard please? For example what connector is on the cable? Are there any keys on it that are not on a standard keyboard (a photo would be nice)? Do you know the make/model?

Unless you have an old school terminal connected to a main frame, the answer is no.
3270 keyboards had a “return” key (with a hooked arrow picture like a bent “tab” arrow) where PCs have the “Enter” key.
3270 keyboards had an “Enter” key where a PC keyboard right Ctrl key is located. Many 3270 emulators use the right Ctrl key for Enter as it is consistent for typing.
On 3270, carriage return is a local operation like tab.
Enter sends all data entered in the screen to the host. IBM 3270 dealt with screens of data at a time versus character at a time.

I now possess answers to all the hidden secrets of the universe thanks to Chat GPT. I am now the most powerful wizard of all time.

Please don't be so condescending. This 'thing' is really amazing from my point of view. Even if it's wrong every now and then. And we need to watch these 'things'

I tried ChatGPT in a non-software related realm. It gave me a rather confusing answer, so I asked a further question for clarification. That seemed to contradict the first answer, which I challenged indirectly. ChatGPT immediately apologised: "I apologize for the mistake in my previous response." and gave a fuller, and correct, response to my questions.
Which is great (and counterbalances your apology to it in your example above!) but does rather imply that it gives the first answer it comes up with, without further checking against its other "knowledge". I was just curious to test it out, but had it done that in - say - a medical diagnosis, I'd potentially be in big trouble.

It's very chatty. I think it's psycho-analyzing to come up with the best "liked" answer. Then files it for future reference. If it asked you for your name, it could even speak the sweetest sound in the world.

Results:
2 "thumbsup" message responses icons for "Continue next week"
0 "thumbsdown" message responses icon for "Leave it till January".
4 "trophy" responses icon to make @Randor do 'em all!
2 "beer" message responses which probably means he has to be drunk while posting them ...
So next week is a go, drunk or not, and you don't have to set the following days if you win. Except for Randor of course. He does.

... So what is the most quotable movie? And the best (KSS) quote?
The Blues Brothers is damn good, but for me it's Pulp Fiction.
Most of the good ones are decidedly not KSS but "Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?" is just classic. As is nearly the whole "dead body in the car in my garage" scene.

I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part!
Plus anything from Monty Python of course!

Oh so many ..
Airplane (aka Flying High) my most quoted film outside of Monty Python movies
- I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.
- A hospital? What is it? It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.
- Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking ... quit smoking ... quit sniffing glue.
Ok I'm going to stop now or I'll quote the whole movie.
Others (not "most quotable", but some favourites):
Last Boy Scout
- Joe Hallenbeck: I told you, if you ever touch me again, I'll kill you.
Can't quote the others here
Kelly's Heros
- Oddball: Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves.

The original Ghostbusters...
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist!"
"That's a big Twinkie"
"There is no Dana, only Zuul."
"Human sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!"
"Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back."
"I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, bad?"
...and many, many more.

Most Quotable Movie: The Princess Bride 
Oh, for Christmas movies, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey)
"Oh, that's rich." Grinch after prank-calling people.
"That worked out nicely." As cindy lou who falls into package stamper
"Wrong-Oh!" when cindy lou who says Grinch did something nice.
"The gift of a Christmas shave."
"Pucker up, Who-ville...& kiss it!"
"Holiday whobitty- whabitty?"
Mayor when the town & decorations have been destroyed by Grinch: "Invite the Grinch, destroy Christmas!! Invite the Grinch, destroy Christmas!!"
"Cheer up dude, it's Christmas."
“Give me that! Don’t you know you’re not supposed to take things that don’t belong to you? What’s the matter with you? You some kind of wild animal?”
outgoing message on answering machine: "If you utter so much as one syllable, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! If you'd like to fax me, press the star key."
Grinch checks schedule: “4:00, wallow in self-pity. 4:30, stare into the abyss. 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing. I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness."
“Now you listen to me, young lady! Even if we're horribly mangled, there'll be no sad faces on Christmas.”
