Everything here was done in C and hand-coded postscript. No interactive software was used except vi and bash. All processing was done on "obsolete" gear various companies & universities had thrown away. (This photo is misleading. That CM cabinet actually houses my cluster of Sun E4000's and a small Origin-2000. Alas.)
