I have asked for permission to link to it on multicians.org. (I recognize the office furnishings.. he is in his office in 545 Technology Square, so he was probably Director of Project MAC at the time. The system Prof. Fano is using is CTSS, an early version that typed WAIT, after each command. That, the limit of 24 on number of users, and the use of a M35 Teletype terminal suggest to me that the film was produced in 1963, around the time of the Project MAC Summer Study.)
