In my case you would lose the bet.
The PICK os ran on dumb terminals at 9600 baud (or slower) using
unshielded lines in most cases. They did not move to Unix until the early
90s.
The first dumb terminals I used were on a Honeywell mainframe at the
University of Alaska. That system was running a Honeywell proprietary OS.
(Back in the mid 70s.) They started on cards and moved to DecWriters and
VT-102s.
