alt Hacker NewsMulti-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

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.
