MCP's Architecture struck me as absolutely amazing and fascinating when i read about it.

Bull released a MCP VM demo development kit, I tried really hard to set it up and write some simple ALGOL for it.

If anything it thought me to appreciate how MULTICS/UNIX (and aside the pdp10 world) gave us line oriented developer-focused interactive environments that don't make ones eyes bleed.

It's no coincidence the villain in Tron is called MCP. As a former colleague who managed an A-series mainframe, MCP is actually very user-friendly. It's just that it's extremely picky about its users.
