Not AL, but AI. Also known as MIT-AI on the ARPANET. It was the PDP-10 used by the MIT AI lab, hence the name. The Incompatible Timesharing System was developed on their PDP-6, later moved to the PDP-10. There were three more ITS machines in the 70s: MIT-DMS/Dynamic Modeling, MIT-ML/Mathlab, and MIT-MC/Macsyma Consortium. If ITS doesn't ring a bell, maybe some of its applications/tools might: Maclisp, Scheme, Logo, CLU, DDT/HACTRN, SHRLDU, MacHack VI, Macsyma, Maze(war), Emacs, Zork. > 3. Tell us more about Doug, and his apartment :-) I'll leave it to others to talk about Digex.
