high moby

	This is the JargonFile ^(V4.00) entry for high moby - Next: highly, Prev: high bit
:high moby: /hi: mohbee/ /n./ The high half of a 512K PDP-10s 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 MITs last [[ITS]] machines, the one on the upper floor was dubbed the high moby and the other the low moby. All parties involved grokked this instantly. See moby.
