You had a 20 that would handle 600 students in 1977???
I think he said something about six 20s? I?m pretty sure there?s no way one CPU would
have handled 600 timesharing users. We could get to around 120 on a single KL10E with
TOPS-10 before it got unbearably slow. With TOPS-20 on the same hardware we could only
get to 80 or so; TOPS20 was something of a pig.
