imagine if instead of file.txt, we had file::ext
all_star::ogg
frogs::png
fragments of an Alternate Universe :: Computing
@lizardsquid

file->txt

@catoutofbed @lizardsquid that is _almost_ DECNET

@samis @lizardsquid @catoutofbed i wouldn't know! i've only ever used VAX/VMS, never LISP machines
@er1n @lizardsquid @catoutofbed well, an LMI machine has this: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2928/33368826354_8d6a43586b_o.png
and others indicate similar structures.
