I know of two publications in 1975 that used the term "second system effect" or
"second-systemitis".
1: Brooks' _Mythical Man-Month_.
2: Bell's and Streeker's "What We Learned From the PDP-11".
Does anyone know of earlier usage of this term or earlier names for this effect, possibly
outside of computers?
Tim.
