I didn't mean to imply that one and the same machine had been running 
all the time. Only that various individuals have been running ITS all 
the time. I don't know, maybe some have been running it all the time. 
But since it has been around, and been running on and off, all the time, 
I found it weird to see a title about it being "recovered", when it 
obviously never was lost.

I have no idea. But while I know that ITS was mainly an MIT thing, I did 
think it had been brought up at least somewhere else.

That would be a way, yes.

Yup.
