[create Michael Montalbano]: A Personal History of APL

"This was the first of many experiences (including attendance at a Stanford gathering of the most prestigious accounting firms in the world) that led me to the conclusion that most cost accounting is applied metaphysics of an extremely ethereal kind."George Morrow, R.I.P.: "Marketing is almost an unknown concept in Silicon Valley. It's like we stand on one side of wall, and the customers are on the other. Periodically, we throw some food over the wall, and listen for chewing sounds. If we hear it, then everyone else clusters around and throws things over the wall at the same point, until they quit eating. Then repeat." — As remembered by Tim Oren."[[create Vacuum Tube]] technology was to dominate electronic instrument design until the invention of transistors in the 1960s. The [create Triode] amplifier also freed electronic instruments from having to use the telephone system as a means of amplifying the signal."
