Dear X-pert,
The forerunners have been here (Denmark) for long and the oceanic
main X11 wavefront is now entering our coastline. Later this year
a range of introductory and comprehensive courses in X11 are given
to the Technical University of Denmark by me. Also being interested
in the historical background I would appreciate very much some
(little) information about the project quoted again and again:
The MIT Athena Project. When was it inaugurated? With what purpose?
And how did X evolve from Athena?
Thank you very much in advance and thanks for a great progress in
computing,
    Yours sincerely,
    Jorgen Moth
