Wang Labs Delivers First 3300 Minicomputer Timesharing System
Lowell Sun, April 16, 1971

An article mentioning the deployment of the first Wang Laboratories 3300 Timeshared BASIC Minicomputer System to Weymouth South High School in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. The four user system was shipped to the High School near the end of March, 1971, and was installed and running shortly thereafter. The system quickly became a very popular part of the school's mathematics curriculum, with eager students waiting for time behind the terminals connected to the system to try out their BASIC programs.
