  • Abstract
    The series of ´Time-Sharing System Scorecards´ published from 1965-7 by the Computer Research Corp. chronicles the development of time-sharing systems in research organizations (universities and laboratories) and the expectations for commercial offerings. The last of these scorecards (reproduced in the article) shows a stage of development when time-sharing was still new enough to be a research effort and not quite mature enough to be commonplace.<>
