I once worked on an IBM mainframe compatible vector computer,
a Siemens / Fujitsu VP 600.  Nice machine, had 1024 parallel
memory channels.  As long as your Fortran arrays didn't have 1024
elements along the first dimension, this was very fast.

Anyway, this started out on an MVS-compatible OS.  Then, they
switched to a UNIX variant, with interactive shells and all.
The UNIX felt really strange.

So, each time somebody pressed a key in an interactive sesssion,
a data block was sent to the CPU, and one was sent back.  I thought
that _strange_.  I also wrote a rant to UNIX-haters about this,
but I cannot find that any more.
