 timesharing
[now primarily historical] Timesharing is the technique of scheduling a computer's time so that they are shared across multiple tasks and multiple users, with each user having the illusion that his or her computation is going on continuously.
Not so back then; timesharing machines were often loaded to capacity, and it was not uncommon for everyone's work to grind to a halt while the machine scheduler thrashed, trying to figure out what to do next.
The early hacker culture of the 1960s and 1970s grew up around the first generation of relatively cheap timesharing computers, notably the

 ClassicGaming.com - The History of Computer Gaming - Part 3
Timesharing was the idea that multiple people could use the computer's resources at once, all with the illusion that they were the only ones on the computer.
Project MAC (which stood for both Multiple Access Computing and Machine Aided Cognition) and its mission was to develop a computer system accessible to a large number of people, and to exploit the computer as an aid to research and education.
And this environment where multiple people could not only be on the system programming at once but also share resources such as files, set the stage for the next evolution of gaming on computers.

 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Incompatible Timesharing System
ITS, the Incompatible Timesharing System, was an early, revolutionary, and influential MIT time-sharing operating system; it was developed principally by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, with some help from Project MAC.
ITS development was initiated in the late 1960s by those (notably the majority of the AI Lab at that point in time) who disagreed with the direction taken by Project MAC's Multics project (which had started in the mid 1960s), particularly such decisions as the inclusion of powerful system security.

Virtually every timesharing project participates in some type of exchange system, as timesharing developers have found that people will not buy timesharing if they are limited to returning to the same project year after year.
Thus, this conclusion should not be viewed as a general statement of the Department's position with respect to other types of timesharing facilities; our position on this issue may well be different given a different set of facts concerning the ownership and operation of such facilities.
Assn' is analogous to the sale of timesharing in increments of one week or less.

 TUG Timesharing 101
As part of the process of establishing a timeshare project, the developer also creates a set of legal documents describing the operation of the resort and the timeshare program.
In deciding to purchase a timeshare, you should evaluate the different types of ownership options to select the type of timeshare that will work best for you.
Because of the bad impression many people have of timesharing, timeshare developers have developed other names for timeshare projects, such as “Vacation Ownership” or “Fractional Ownership”.

 Third generation: Timesharing
In the guise of GE Timesharing, conversational computing introduced hundreds of thousands of students in high schools to computing, and many of these people now fill the ranks of the computing industry.
This observation, and a long-standing belief that the productivity of computer users (as opposed to the productivity of the computer itself) would be optimised by conversational interaction with the computer, led to the development of timesharing systems in the 1960s.
To the computer owner it promised efficient utilisation of computing power by making available a statistical universe of demands on the computing resource which would mop up every last CPU cycle and core-second.

One of the big problems of resorts is communicating why timesharing is good for the purchaser and the developer.

Because of this, the uninformed frequently say timeshare developers are making large profits.
