I know it isn't, but I harbor a secret fantasy that the BESM-6 was a Soviet clone of the PDP-6. It would have been a sweet alternative reality.

DEC introduced sixels first with the VT220, later with graphics terminals like the VT340. This was around 20 years after the LINC. Arguably sixels only became cool a few years ago when people rediscovered them and added support to terminal emulators.

Leeloo, is that you?

I wonder if the pie menu was put there by Don Hopkins? Probably.

Let me take this opportunity to express my admiration for your witty user name, g000001.

[x] I'm ready for the ARPANET.

Project MAC, I assume.

I gather in telecom, mainframe - or main distribution frame in full - is still in use meaning something like chassis.

What have you been working on?

It was a game engine for Space Travel.

It ought to be spelled K ERNI NG.

Feel the relief of not having systemd around.

It was Devin Monnens. He's also in touch with Len Berger, the original programmer, and will interview him soon.

I have opened a pull request for Open SIMH to add support for the display. The game code is also there, in the PDP8/test directory. github.com/open-simh/si...

The game runs on PDP-8 emulators now.

Thanks for the offer! It turns out someone already transcribed it. I put it here: github.com/PDP-5/ICBM

Not quite. The IMLAC PDS-1 is a single-user minicomputer. A workstation predecessor before the term workstation was coined. (...or was it? I have seen it used with Englebart's NLS.)
