I moved this to COFF since it's a TWENEX topic.  Chet Ramsey pointed folks
at a wonderful set of memories from Dan Murphy WRT to the development of
TENEX and later become TOPS-20.   But one comment caught me as particularly
wise and should be understood and digested by all:

*"... a complex, complicated design for some facility in a software or
hardware product is usually not an indication of great skill and maturity
on the part of the designer. Rather, it is typically evidence of lack of
maturity, lack of insight, lack of understanding of the costs of
complexity, and failure to see the problem in its larger context."*
