I think DTSS is actually fairly important in the bigger scheme of things as it was also used at the U.S. Naval Academy, where both DTSS and applications created for it were in use from the early 70's through the mid-90's. Most of the current senior officers (Admirals & Captains) in the U.S. Navy who are academy graduates learned computing using DTSS on big teletype machines. I registered for classes online in 1974--yes, USNA has had online registration since the 70's--and one of my classmates even hacked the system and registered early. The online registration program was still in use when I did a Web assist visit to the Academy in 1994. I will try to come up with some documentable source material as I know that personal experience is falling into disrepute here at Wikipedia--even though it is certainly original source material. Maybe I should just write a paper on it and then quote myself. Ray Trygstad (talk) 17:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
