One of the programs available on UBC's 360/67 was an emulator which
acted like a complete small 360/30 system.  One of our assignments
was to write a small freestanding program, complete with boot loader,
and run it on the emulator, privileged instructions and all.

Well, many authorities do acknowledge that DEC was responsible for bringing 
about the *minicomputer* business.

Now, I can see people having the belief that the microcomputer business could 
not have come into existence if there hadn't been a minicomputer business 
before it. After all, if the only computers we could build one day were giant 
hulking behemoths, otherwise known as mainframes, how could we suddenly jump to 
making microcomputers the next day?

However, the conceptual error here should be obvious.

Yes, there would _be_ a minicomputer business prior to there being a 
microcomputer business, as electronic logic circuits improved and became more 
compact.

However, what DEC did was establish the minicomputer as a product category. 
They didn't invent the integrated circuit. So while minicomputers are a 
prerequisite for microcomputers, it isn't DECs contributions to the 
minicomputer that were essential to the microcomputer; the microcomputer would 
still have come about even if the mini era was shorter because some other firm, 
like Honeywell or Hewlett-Packard, eventually got around to coming up with the 
microcomputer on its own.

> DEC neither invented nor perfected timesharing.

They didn't invent timesharing, but the various efforts, experimental and 
otherwise, to perform timesharing on IBM mainframes had certain awkwardnesses 
and limitations that the PDP-10 avoided.

However, there are also such machines as the SDS 940 and the GE 635 which 
apparently didn't have problems with timesharing either.

A lot of people underestimated the PC.  For one thing, when it
first came out, it was basically a hobbyist toy, with very
limited capability and very expensive.  But the PC industry
persevered and came out with more powerful machines and good
applications to support it.  Getting IBM's blessing helped a lot, too.

For many reasons I think use of PCs in business was a bad choice.  It's led
to uncontrolled use of spreadsheets written by amateurs for critical
applications.  It's greatly helped the spread of viruses.  It's led to a
constant cycle of churning replacing equipment, patching software, and
installing new and often incompatible versions.

A lot of hype about the cloud is all about trying to reverse some of  this
mess with everyone running software installed and maintained once on the
cloud.

Using "the cloud" doesn't prevent any of that "churning"--you still need 
a PC to use the cloud (unless of course you are going to tell your data 
analysts who currently have four screens or more to do it all on their 
cell phones).

Those "amateurs" are often experts at some field other than programming 
who became frustrated at the inability of the IT department to deliver 
code that did what they needed when they needed it.  How does the cloud 
address this?  The cloud still depends on somebody writing the code to 
do whatever is needed and if the in-house IT department isn't adequately 
responsive why would a third-party IT department do any better?

You should be able to take out an old PC and drop in a new one in a few
minutes with no disruption to the user.  In addition to data and
applications stored remotely the user's desktop should be elsewehere.  The
ideal is that you should be able to walk into an office with shared PCs,
sit down at any of them, and instantly have "your" system available.  

I haven't kept up, so I don't know how closely current systems correspond
to this model.  The PC would function similar to a Xterm.

At least 30 years.

Yes you did. How did the Clearinghouse know where to retrieve your desktop

I remember going to a presentation at work, in about 1990, where the guy 
in charge of systems at the time was insistent that the whole X concept 
was the future - and that the PC shouldn't be taken seriously.

I spent several years sat in front of one of these;

How we laughed when we saw our first PC.

	The demo I recall used RFID badges so when you sat down at a
terminal your session followed and the phone next to it started to get your
calls.

Ah, OK, that was a demo from PARC and never made it into a production
system. I still have a paper here somewhere about the smart badge system
at PARC.

How well did that work when Abel, Bob, and Charley stepped up to an idle machine
so that Charley could show them something?

	I don't know I only saw a demo, if it were my code the established
session wouldn't end until the associated tag went away no matter how many
other tags came near.

I was postulating that all three stepped up to an unoccupied machine at the same
time.  I guess it could ask which of them wanted to establish a session.

I can think of situations where I wouldn't want my phone calls etc. to follow me
around the building.

Somewhat later IBM tried it with "Workspace on Demand" (WSOD), one final
attempt to mKe OS/2 relevant.  I think it was aimed at their salesforce
who, about then, were losing their desks and working mostly in the field or
from home.

I still haven't figured out why this idea didn't become popular.
