I started on a 2000/Access in the Fall of 1975 (UTC had one of, if not
the, first Access systems delivered).  We got our 3000/II in the Fall of
1976.  Some of our initial documentation was CX material, and my first
episode of tearing my hair out over learning SPL was trying to get the
CHRONOS intrinsic to work.

(The handful of you that knew anything about the CX -> II "migration"
are probably having a private laugh :-) ).

Ironically, that was one of only two "object code" incompatibilities of
user-mode code I ever ran into in the life of the 3000.
