Not AL, but AI.  Also known as MIT-AI on the ARPANET.  It was the PDP-10
used by the MIT AI lab, hence the name.  The Incompatible Timesharing
System was developed on their PDP-6, later moved to the PDP-10.  There
were three more ITS machines in the 70s: MIT-DMS/Dynamic Modeling,
MIT-ML/Mathlab, and MIT-MC/Macsyma Consortium.

If ITS doesn't ring a bell, maybe some of its applications/tools might:
Maclisp, Scheme, Logo, CLU, DDT/HACTRN, SHRLDU, MacHack VI, Macsyma,
Maze(war), Emacs, Zork.

I'll leave it to others to talk about Digex.
