[Bru-list] A couple of things from tonight's meeting

[Vince M Hudd]

The Stephen Streater thing I mentioned... dunno why I thought it was him: it
wasn't! It was Nick van der Walle / Cerilica. The machine was to be called
the Nucleus, and it was intended as a specialist graphics workstation -
there's a bit about it here:

If you look on top, there's a yellow round thing that looks like a giant
button. On top of a giant toaster. I thought it stuck out more prominently
than that, but apparently not.

Its appearance at Wakefield 2000:

A decent sized pic:

This leads neatly into the other of the couple of things: As mentioned on
those links, it was going to be based on the Millipede Imago board - and I
think it was Millipede's stuff that was used for some TV game show graphics.

Judging by the Foundation page, the name to look for re Millipede is Richard
Jozefowski - perhaps he'll have been interviewed by the Acorn press at some
point.

And before I head to the land of nod, I've just glanced at the ARMini
mailing list re Chris's comments about Andrew's request for photos. It turns
out the review in question should be on The Register tomrrow. Erm... later
today.
