-a ) check out Leo Marks' "Between Silk and Cyanide", which touches on a telegrapher's signature 'fist' - they were distinguishing between different (German) senders of coded messages over the air.

-b) this is still relevant today for (especially amateur radio) morse code operators

I worked for / with Lynn at Xerox PARC from 1980 - 1982. She will be missed.

SVB no longer populates in Forbes on-line search ... as far as I can tell

There was an Apple Mac (sub-) team visit to Inmos in the UK, hosted by Ian Barron, sometime circa 1982 - 1983. Bob Belleville, the Mac team's director of engineering, led the trip. I remember Ian had a Jaguar with twin fuel tanks, but told the story of how he forgot to refill the first one when it was empty, so sometime he totally ran out of fuel. JG (John Giannandrea), later of Netscape, was at Inmos around then. (He was at Apple last time I checked.)

Which MacOS version? Monterey 12.6.1 doesn't want to play ...

Nit: should read: "100 megaBITS"(/second)

It's A16Z, actually, ...

Someone else posted here on HN in the last year or so; she lived in the Pacific NW and had built a database-based - web site that lets one enter constraints and find hints that help answer your question. Alas, I can't find the link at the moment.

I was lucky enough to know him. Brilliant, hard-working, soft-spoken.

N. Wirth: Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs

I have been calling this "Haeberli's corollary" to the Third Law of Thermodynamics - "globally, competence is not conserved" - it's leaking out of the universe, somehow...

I was (distantly) there, and I recall Wirth being there and visiting.

Eric Schmidt was, as I recall (which was when I was there), at PARC proper, doing his PhD thesis research and writing his thesis. But as Larry Tesler's interaction showed, there were fluid interactions between at least some people at PARC and the XBS and Xerox Star teams.

Dylan was indeed created by a group at ATG Cambridge run by Ike Nassi

Headline needs an edit - it's "Rod Serling", not "Rod Sterling"... but in any event, thanks for sharing.

So - it depends a bit on your purpose - if you just need a linux box, with no particular performance constraing, a Raspberry Pi might do. For a bit more performance, ODroid is nice - see http://www.hardkernel.com/main/main.php. ~$200 at the high end. You can of course add some storage via USB. For a serious server machine - the above recommendations may be plausible.

As to the second: "without gratuitous nastiness", I would encourage you to go further towards the postitive and think about building on a FIRST robotics meme, "gracious professionalism" -http://www.usfirst.org/aboutus/gracious-professionalism
