some of the CTSS people had gone to the 5th flr to do Multics and others
went to the science center and did virtual machines, the internal
network (technology also used for the corporate sponsored BITNET),
invented GML in 1969, bunch of online stuff. Somewhat as a result, there
was a little friendly rivalry between the 4th and 5th flrs.

spring 1979, got a call that some AFDS people wanted to come by to talk
about getting 20 vm/4341 ... they never made it to fall 1979 ... at
which time it had grown 210 (distributed) vm/4341s (large customers
started ordering hundreds of vm/4341s at a time, sort of the leading ege
of the coming distributed computing tsunami). archived multics posting

It had possibly started from early 1979 when I got con'ed into doing
some benchmarks on engineering 4341 for one of national labs (4341 had
yet to ship to customers) ... they were looking at getting 70 4341s for
a compute farm (sort of the leading edge of the coming cluster
supercomputing tsunami).  old archived afc posts with some of benchmark
