Noel, Fascinating read. I must’ve read at least a good handful of the references leading
to the myths described in the writeup. As usual, I can trust the folks who lived history
to remember it more clearly than many revisionists writing about it later.
Thanks for sharing.
Now, I’m wondering what awesome features Multics had that we’re still lacking in modern
*nices... anything as amazing as say, my favorite filesystem, ZFS?
