If I were seated at an Intercom 200 terminal years before Plato, I
could chat with any other Intercom user (at least under SCOPE). Chat
was nothing new at all and certainly wasn't unique to CDC.
Speaking of Intercom--did any of said terminal setups (console,
reader/punch and printer) ever escape the smelter?
