Pauli, you and the 34s team did great with what you had available. I still remember when I first saw the “WHO” screen. I thought, “What’s with the backwards J? And an instant later: “Ah… yeah!” It was a pleasure to see this on-the-surface example of the ingenuity that went into that machine. It’s like the Tardis—much more inside than you can see outside. And even the latter is impressive.
