This is a simple lesson in Bell Labs genius.  The first computer-controlled telephone system needed a real-time operating system. 


 Enter the above - the computer would whip through the "A" tasks, and when done, move onto "B", etc.  The design was that "A" got twice the attention of "B", which got twice the attention of "C".  You really didn't want to be the "D" guy.


We're talking the first real-time operating system ever.


If the curmudgeon has been successful here, the above title will haunt you forever.
