@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Countless MIT AI memos were typeset using TJ6, and printed on the XGP. The whole process can be run on emulators: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/ai-memo-reprints

Ohh, I had completely blocked out my memories of PUB 😆 very traumatic.
We had a ...
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... PUB seems to have enjoyed a period of popularity at SAIL and MIT, but was supplanted by SCRIBE and TeX.
MIT also had an in-house version of roff called R, written in C.
Lisp machine documentation was written in Bolio which was written in Maclisp. The name was a play on the ice cream store Emack & Bolio's, obviously referring to a certain text editor.

Super neat! All I need now is a Diablo Printer with at least 3 different print wheels...
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I was about to ask, does the book cover TJ6, PUB, and SCRIBE? Originating at MIT, Stanford, and CMU, respectively, but ported between the sites.

@nprofile1q... I cherish my thousand abandoned hobbies, I just don't have time for them all and that's fine.
Yesterday Josh Dersch and Jason Perkins stopped by to do some fan maintenance on MissPiggy and power up the Nova-3. Thank you for your volunteer hours! https://icm.museum

@nprofile1q... You did something with your hair since I last saw you in 2019. Slay!
@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I see you made a hardware modification. In the original installation all boxes were upside down.
Here is the raw video from yesterday's live stream in which Rick, Charles and Stephen get into the Warrex Centurion 200 computer and attempt a power up.
Bruce makes a cameo and gives an update on the...
@nprofile1q... My son and I laughed at the Star Wars reference at the end.
We're moving our PDP-7 running UNICS version 0 into our new mainframe gallery space next week. Come see the original UNICS (UNIX) operating system running on real hardware where you can compile your ...
@nprofile1q... Someone ought to port Space Travel over to use the 340 display.
