Has anyone seen those in the wild since 1979?
I mean m*u*l*t*i*U*S*E*R , not multi-tasking. Two user typing away at
different keyboards, looking to different screens, not only connected
to the same computer, but running on the same Forth.

If you want to test this, I have one asr33 printing terminal
for you to borrow, but I don't know where to get another one,
since you need at least two for a real test.
