Fermi National Accelerator Lab ran on green screen TVs and Xerox 530 computers (paper tape boot up). I imagine the setup was done sort of in parallel with Xerox-Sparc's lab (wherever that was). I should investigate and see when our trackballs went in (they're gone now). Fermilab broke ground in 1968 but the control room certainly wasn't that early. I got there in 1979. Now you've got me curious .....
