Multi-user Unix? What will they think of next?

This is cool, though. Gives people a taste of what it used to be like with everyone in the university logged into the big time-sharing machines all together.

I kinda wish it stayed that way, or rather something better replaced multi-user systems as they aren't well suited to personal computers like we have nowadays. Plus I like the added bonus of not needing to spend much to have access to the kind of compute power needed for a compsci course, it makes compiling a lot faster

You apparently never had to share a 3B20 (around 1 MIP) with 200 other CS1401 students desperately trying to get their Pascal project to compile before the midnight deadline. 15m for 'hello world'? If you're lucky.

We could call it Multics!

But yeah, I remember those glory days of everybody on the school's Sun 3/280, when an accidental fork bomb would ruin everyone's homework.
