We were considering installing Ethernet at SLAC at the time, and also considering what to do with it. At the time we had ascii terminals that could connect o e.g. VAXes or IBM Series/1 doing 3270 emulation, via a Micom Switch. IIRC we were trying to decide whether to do more of the same or try something radical. The Ethernet went in but the we stuck with the Micom, in the end, for another decade. -- "A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled." - Sir Barnett Cocks (1907-1989)

It's worth watching. I don't want to get into details, because it might involve "spoilers" but it's a pretty good snapshot of computer life in 1983. Set and costume design are superior to The Americans, which is set in the same year. -- Where's the Vangelis music? Pris' tongue is sticking out in in the wide shot after Batty has kissed her.

was just a joke.
