Hello!
I'd rather see a bootable pack containing ITS plus everything needed
to make the pest work properly.

You then get handed a book on LISP as applied to EMACS containing
copious notes written in a really atrocious longhand and in a nearly
incomprehensible language.

When I read the book for the first time, I was surprised. Both at the

his talents for doing things that most of us would want to do one way
or the other. And naturally not do because its really not legal.......
Dave is that system running? Or is it shutdown and waiting?

Shutdown and waiting.   It needs a MASSBUS drive to boot from.   I'm
pursuing some possibilities on that front, but very slowly.

You really need to get one so I can run TOPS-10 on it. ;)

  I'm trying.

You then see a crowd of yetis and a bigger crowd of snow leopards at
work, at a machine. You see your available bandwidth shrink and then
realize that's what they are using.

Damn yetis are surfing porn again!

In emacs!!

Hey, it's a great OS for that. ;)

  Too true!
