    Some time ago, I remember reading about an older operating system - and
    now I can't remember the name or where I found it. I believe I stumbled
    onto it from a link when I was exploring the Hurd/Mach alternatives to
    Linux. A key item was that at a some show, possibly Comdex, the booth
    for this operating system was located near Novell's, and the reps would
    take turns gleefully kicking the power cord of the socket, the plugging
    it back in and having the system come back almost instantaneously -
    since it saved its state continuously to disk. The Novell people were -
    a trifle upset.

    Does anyone have any idea about what this operating system was/is or
    have a link I can visit?
