IMP System Change Notification 🌸

okay bestie, this one's short and sweet but it's giving important 💅

So during the week of 16 August, they installed a new version of the IMP system, version 2505 🦋 It came with three main changes:

  1. The number of hosts the system can handle went up from three to four 🔥 That's a pretty big internal change to the IMP, but the only external effects are a new status light [light 8 monitors Host 4] ✨ and the 10-second and snapshot statistics getting longer.
  2. The host handling routines got modified so they gather more accurate and voluminous statistics on host usage of the network, and report them to NCC 📊 main character data collection era 💜
  3. The 10-sec. statistics now measure time for the host "round trip" statistic in units of 800 rather than 100 microseconds ⏱️ ngl the math nerd in me is obsessed 🙈

It is not anticipated that the new system should have any direct effect on the hosts. 🫶 so the hosts can just vibe 🧚
