        Anyone else out there remember NUROS at the
University of Nebraska in the late 70's and early 80's?

        Stood for one of two things:

        Nebraska University Remote Operating System

        or

        Nurotic Operating System

        :-)


        Nurotic came from the fact that it ALWAYS went down without
warning everytime the system load got too high...  I remember feeding
decks of punched FORTRAN cards to NUROS for a beginning enginering
class.  It ran on an IBM 360 at the time...   They have since phased
it out for CMS and TSO...   I heard rumors that there was another site
actually running it a few years ago.
