Add another one - Pick is a VM. Okay, it sat straight on the hardware (but didn't all of them?) and seeing as they controlled the hardware I think they micro-coded it so it was part-VM, part real cpu, but the design was 100% virtual.

And Pick (in its original incarnation of GIRLS) is older than Unix!

Cheers,
Wol
