I was looking at some photos on FB posted by a friend and ran across 
Richard Greenblatt's oral history.  It has some mentions of what the 
PDP6's and PDP 10's were used for.

I've not had time to read other than to think these are perhaps 
interesting if you guys didn't run across them.  I think they may have 
been used by the Project Mac folks.  Perhaps posting this over on the 
Multics thread might stir up some information if you want more.  A lot 
of the original guys are there.  I'd be glad to do it if no-one else on 
the thread here can do so.

Thanks for the interesting thread.

thanks
Jim

And Merry Christmas from LA
