Sure, throw _that_ in my face!

I'm aware of a company locally that used to run all their accounting on a
multiuser BASIC whose name escapes me. They were using an AT at the time; I
don't know whether that particular BASIC would run on an XT.

When you get to things like multiuser Forths and multiuser BASICs, it's hard
to say where the language stops and the OS begins...
