[I expect this will spark some controversy. -DL]
As I understand the history, Multics first inspired PRIMOS, which
was sometimes called "Multics in a Matchbox." The technical talent
behind this inspiration left Prime to form Apollo when Prime's
management decided that workstations would never catch on. Of course,
they continued with the basic good ideas at Apollo.
I arrived at Prime shortly thereafter, and took awhile to realize
that I'd "missed the bus" technologically. Primos is a shadow of
what it could have been with that heritage, and it sounds like Aegis
is also trying to hide the gold with lead-colored paint.
