Concerning TENEX... (Twenex, ad nauseum)

Suffice it to say, Twenex may be a more jargon-y and colloquial word, but
BBN's Tenex deserves the notice. BBN gave Tenex to DEC in exchange for some
hardware. DEC called it TOPS-20, after filing down the rough edges.
Classic Tenex felt more hacker friendly.

Having just flamed at length about Multics, I lack the energy to winnow
out the chaff about Tenex.
