I may be the only one here old enough to have worked on Tenex... around 1978 or so, I dropped out of MIT and went to work at BBN and did some extensions to Tenex / TOPS-20, including as I remember some device drivers for the IBM-style tape drives that were still in use.

Do you regret dropping on out of MIT all these years later? (Honest question, not trolling)
Not really, I was more interested in hacking than coursework, so that's what I did. But I dropped back in some years later when the Media Lab started up, finished up my BS and got a couple of grad degrees.
