Interesting quotes include Fano talking about
different objectives
from the different organizations, Corby saying, "they [Bell Labs]
dropped out three-quarters of the way through the race" (referring to
Multics), Fano asserting that BTL left after the _research_ part of
the project was essentially completed
Multics was started in 1964 and first went online in 1967, although it
seems likely it wasn't exactly at the top of its game yet. Bell Labs
pulled out in 1969. If that was the 75% point, 100% would be around
1971.
