You can see how I misinterpreted the quote?

What flavor of what Richard Stallman would want us to call Gnu-Linux do you run? Raspian is somewhat limited. The Pi 4B doesn't even have a real time clock.

I was with Mac OS from 7.1 IIRC. But when they pivoted to OS X, my favorite tool Norton Disk Editor was never brought forward. Symantec paid me to sit in a $900 chair at their knowledgebase terminal and bring back peoples' data files from the Void. It was the most satisfying work I had.

Boat tails!

Other than the mockup on the Superbeetle, I also did a scale model you may have seen.



This is hinged like a single wheel trailer. The rigid floor would help the difusser and stiffen the structure, shown as fiberglass rods ribs like a mountaineering tent. It should have a wheelie bar for ground strikes.

This is from the 1960s.
