[edit] how did this get to be a macintosh project ?

In the late 1970s' the peak number of users was around 300. Not bad for one Cyber-73.

MECC hosted one of the earliest versions of Forums, called "Forum". Most of the discussion was the usual rubbish, but that's not the point.

MECC also hosted one of the earliest electronic monthly magazines, called Vomit. The content was mostly nonsense, but that's not the point. A.times.B,equals (talk) 17:49, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I just looked at the MERRITSS page, and found it blank. A number of things did flow from MERITSS to MECC, however, one of which was M. Huck's XEDIT, which allowed upper/lower case formatting even if one was typing on an KSR-28, and printing elsewhere.
