Access to a Shared Unix Computer

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

The editorialized title brings back memories of logging into smashthestack almost two decades ago leaving and looking at graffiti on the walls.

I didn't learn much following the link itself other than it is supposed to be pronounced TIL-dee and that some people have more money to spare than others.
