BobbyBroccoli might be my favorite essayist. He’s so dramatic in his delivery and visual aids. I particularly love his Victor Ninov and Superconducting Supercollider exposés.
I’ve watched them but to be honest they are soooooo drawn out sometimes. I appreciate the level of information presented but I’ve been guilty of skimming over the parts I don’t care about to get to more interesting bits.
I still have and manage a few Nortel phone systems for a couple of our clients, at their peak they were the best in the business but man they fell hard, and Avaya isn't much better.
Reminds me of IBM, Cisco, and AT&T/Bell Labs. Started out great, did all the right things, got rich and greedy and stopped giving a fuck.
