It appears that this approach to time-sharing could provide the ultimate basis 
for a MUDPIE network, and we should keep a close eye on its development at the 
University of Illinois, particularly in the light of the hoped-for cost "per 
student per hour of use" of 25 cents!

Cantrell, Harry N. Computer and Console: Costs and Convenience. Science, 
162, 1968, p. 620. A rebuttal to the remarks about time-sharing in the paper by 
M. V. Mathews. One interesting point is his analysis of use, which indicated that 
10 <yfo use of a teletype is close to optimal, because this obviates queueing of 
high priced personnel.
