For awhile I would simply run PROGMAN.EXE on Windows NT, it would bring
up the traditional window interface. Eventually I got used to the
Windows 95/98 model.

Windows NT and 2000 did not have the "cut through" ability for apps to
talk to video without going through security proxies, thus games were
always terrible on them.
Windows XP was the first OS (well aside from Windows 95/ME/whatever)
that allowed fast access. This made it a security
Pretty much, though Windows2000 was a significant redesign over NT4.
I was one of the first users of NT4 at the IEEE Computer Society in the
early 90's. We ran it on TALOS, the 8 CPU NCR 3550 system and it was one
of the first truly SMP systems out there (with dual Microchannel busses

Always possible. Better chance of being saved than when a recycler buys

I'd be happy if a rich person bought the stuff, at least it would not be

Actually I am travelling to France in a few weeks and there is an RM80

Nope. LCM had a KI-10, ISTR it was half of a dual CPU system from
Kiel. When I visted there was a 2060 and a 2065, as well as a KS.
I understand that later they acquired a KA and the MIT-MC KL (1080).
Yep, my error. I saw the picture in Christie's and thought "Heh, they
picked the shiny cup"

Had Allen given final instructions that the entire LCM be cleaned out

It was his money; he had no reason to explain what he did with it or
