When I arrived at Rice University in 1973, they still had their Burroughs 5500 and were doing research with BCPL. I was simply too late to participate in it (the 5500 was retired after my first year). But if you find some 70-something-year-old Rice graduates you'll still find fondness for the language. mcl
