Oh wait, you can't mean that, because VMS had asynchronous system traps back in the 1980's; it's been over 20 years, and it seems that the only OS we've been willing to learn from is the one we started out biased towards... Maybe you mean 1980's technology, like a single priviledge binder called "root" or "superuser". Oh wait, you can't mean that, because that's *1970's* technology...
