Very cool. I have fond memories of Chorus, up until the time they were aquired by Sun and dropped completely out of sight. Apparently it's now the base OS for one of Sun's RT Java OS products. I don't know if this ever made it past the vapour stage -- we (Cambridge U, at that time) had no luck getting it, or indeed any information about it -- out of Sun ~18 months ago. Oh well.
