			=== PLATO Notes ===
			PLATO was one of the first attempts to integrate computer and learning, spawning multiple generations of computing, and yet remained mostly independent of the coastal computing efforts, such as Project MAC or Xerox PARC. PLATO was the model of an operating system running ontop of a mainframe like system, such as a CDC 6800 or similar by PLATO IV. <ref>The Friendly Orange Glow: The Untold Story of the Rise of Cyberculture</ref>.

			While PLATO didn't have much impact on the development of the network or Internet, it was massive in the creation of the culture of the Internet. Last CDC Cyber mainframe shut down in 2006, with PLATO along side it, but colletions continue with cyber1.org and similar.
