@lain Took taking off the glasses and holding my head real close, but now I see.

I worked for a few years (1984-1986) at Thinking Machines Corporation (TMC), Danny Hillis's company that made the Connection Machine (CM), 64K one-bit processors, connected by a hypercube. 4K red LEDs on one side of a black cube with 5-foot long edges. They were initially named after Gods, until marketing caught wind of a CM named Ba'al.

We designed and tested the Connection Machine from Symbolics Lisp Machines. Those were $70K personal computers, all networked together. There were 30 or so of them at TMC, all named after saints.

Brewster Kahle, who went on to create archive.org, after his stint at TMC, often stood behind me while telling me something he wanted me to add to the circuit simulator, and rubbed my shoulders. I was very happy to do whatever he wanted (but neither of us swing that way, so all he wanted was code).
