Having used this machine I would like to note that despite any wonderful
architectural innovations, it basically SUCKED. It was the slowest machine
I have ever used, the most limited in disk and memory, and its tools were
the worst I had ever seen, except on a CP/M system.

If CP/M is the worst system you have ever seen, then you are very, very
lucky. My poor CP/M for several years (1978-1982) had better tools than
I could get at the local university, under either Unix, VMS or MVS. This
is no longer true of the Unix & VMS systems, but is still true of the
MVS (now VM) system. Oh, yeah - it's still faster than VM or the 2.9 BSD
system most of the day.
