Summary
- Interim Computer Museum describes MIT-MC, a DECSYSTEM-10 KL10 Model 1080 operated by the MIT MACSYMA Consortium, as a major ARPANET node and an influential environment for symbolic computing and artificial intelligence.
Notes
- MIT-MC ran the Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS), hosted MACSYMA, and connected programmers, researchers, and students through remote access.
- The preservation story connects with the book discussion through MIT Project MAC, the MIT AI Lab, and the article's account of the MIT hacker ethic.
