"    But the 370...wow, that is an architecture.  You don't NEED CPU power 
" to do tons of work on those machines.  Channel programs, man...channel 
" programs!

ul: heard the story that a foaf programmed a ver of nethack to run on
the i/o processor[s], when he was in a situation where cpu time was
metered and watched closely.  of course, he could play all day without
showing on radar...

i don't recall if it was a 370, an amdahl, or a cyber.  big iron for
sure, though.
