It was a plan that obsoleted billions of dollars of working code and wasted huge amounts of time (undoubtedly multiple human lifetimes.) Actual language standards that multiple stakeholders agree on are a much better approach. Platforms sho

DPS8M is an emulator, so sadly no native Multics on AS400. You can also run DPS8M on a Raspberry Pi. ;-)

Apple's classic Mac GUIs were beautiful and discoverable, with clear, visible controls/affordances. Running Apple's "Macintosh" screen saver reminds me that Apple used to care about every pixel. Now even basic user

They moved to IP because it was improving faster in speed and commoditization vs. ATM. But in order to make it work, they had to figure out how to make QoS work on IP networks, which wasn't easy. It still isn't easy (see: crappy z
