Perhaps if RFS had come along in a different year, we'd have felt different

X was there, SunView was very proprietary. It could have been worse, we might

animated cursors? A system which let you see memory usage by stealing graphic
memory for compilaton?

goes with it!
P9 needs to write a better porn distribution protocol. Presuming at least 7
others have been tried before, how about its called PDP-8?
