re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2015g.html#77 Term "Open Systems" (as Sometimes Currently Used) is Dead -- Who's with Me? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2015g.html#79 Term "Open Systems" (as Sometimes Currently Used) is Dead -- Who's with Me? garlic.com changed/moved their webserver on 16apr2015 and I am still trying to work out how to update files at the new webserver (i've exchange lots of email, still haven't worked it out). in mean time, this thread archived in google groups https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bit.listserv.ibm-main/dvpRJRmFIJA reference here from last decade http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/mainframe/stoprun/Stop-Run/Making-History/ I was blamed for online computer conferencing on the internal network (larger than arpanet/internet from just about the beginning until mid-80s) in the late 70s & early 80s; folklore is that when the corporate executive committee was told about online computer conferencing (and the internal network), 5of6 wanted to fire me. one reference (from IBMJargon): Tandem Memos - n. Something constructive but hard to control; a fresh of breath air (sic). That's another Tandem Memos. A phrase to worry middle management. It refers to the computer-based conference (widely distributed in 1981) in which many technical personnel expressed dissatisfaction with the tools available to them at that time, and also constructively criticised the way products were are developed. The memos are required reading for anyone with a serious interest in quality products. If you have not seen the memos, try reading the November 1981 Datamation summary. ... snip ... somewhat as a result, a researcher was paid to sit in the back of my office for 9months to study how I communicated; took notes on face-to-face and telephone, went with me to meetings, got logs of my instant messages and copies of all incoming & outgoing email. material was used for research report, some number of papers & books and a Stanford PHD (joint between language and computer AI). some past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#cmc (children's "bullying") book about former co-worker at the science center responsible for the internal network http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cool-to-be-clever-edson-hendricks/id483020515?mt=8 It's Cool to Be Clever: The Story of Edson C.
