ITS
/I?T?S/, n.
1. Incompatible Time-sharing System, an influential though highly
idiosyncratic operating system written for PDP-6s and PDP-10s at MIT and
long used at the MIT AI Lab. Much AI-hacker jargon derives from ITS
folklore, and to have been ?an ITS hacker? qualifies one instantly as an
old-timer of the most venerable sort. ITS pioneered many important
innovations, including transparent file sharing between machines and
terminal-independent I/O. After about 1982, most actual work was shifted to
newer machines, with the remaining ITS boxes run essentially as a hobby and
service to the hacker community. The shutdown of the lab's last ITS machine
in May 1990 marked the end of an era and sent old-time hackers into
mourning nationwide (see high moby). There is an ITS home page.
2. A mythical image of operating-system perfection worshiped by a bizarre,
fervent retro-cult of old-time hackers and ex-users (see troglodyte,
sense 2). ITS worshipers manage somehow to continue believing that an OS
maintained by assembly-language hand-hacking that supported only monocase
6-character filenames in one directory per account remains superior to
today's state of commercial art (their venom against Unix is particularly
intense). See also holy wars, Weenix.

1. Incompatible time-sharing System
An influential but highly idiosyncratic operating system
written for the PDP-6 and PDP-10 at MIT and long used at
the MIT AI Lab. Much AI-hacker jargon derives from ITS
folklore, and to have been "an ITS hacker" qualifies one
instantly as an old-timer of the most venerable sort. ITS

the lab's last ITS machine in May 1990 marked the end of an
era and sent old-time hackers into mourning nationwide (see
high moby). The Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden is
maintaining one "live" ITS site at its computer museum (right
next to the only TOPS-10 system still on the Internet), so
ITS is still alleged to hold the record for OS in longest
continuous use (however, WAITS is a credible rival for this
palm).
