high moby

   The  high half of a 512K {PDP-10}'s physical address space; the other
   half was of course the low moby. This usage has been generalized in a
   way  that  has  outlasted  the  {PDP-10};  for  example,  at the 1990
   Washington  D.C.  Area  Science  Fiction  Conclave (Disclave), when a
   miscommunication  resulted  in  two  separate  wakes  being  held  in
   commemoration  of  the shutdown of MIT's last {ITS} machines, the one
   on  the upper floor was dubbed the `high moby' and the other the `low
   moby'. All parties involved {grok}ked this instantly. See {moby}.
