multiuser mode of operation mode of operation

designed for systems that process sensitive unclassi-

fied information in which users may not have a

need-to-know for all information processed in the

system.This mode is also for microcomputers pro-

cessing sensitive unclassified information that cannot

meet the requirements of the standalone mode of

operation.

Murphy’s Law commonly stated as “If anything can go

wrong it will.”This fatalistic sentiment is, in fact, a

corruption of the original assertion, by engineer

Edward A. Murphy, Jr. in 1949, that if you design a

system or component that a technician (or user) can

connect (or use) improperly, at some point he or she

will. If the world can misunderstand your famous

quote, it will.
