Finding Claude Shannon’s old textbook
Professor Baird Soules went to the garage sale of (I believe) Claude Shannon’s grandchild and got these old textbooks for cheap. I didn’t know this, but he was a MIT professor and lived in MA till he died.
I still can’t believe that I got to touch and peruse the textbook that the Father of Information Theory studied from, and that I got to see his penned corner notes - WOW! Too bad I couldn’t strike a deal with Professor Soules to sell it to me.
A lot more signals in that textbook. It does make sense since everything was analog then.

Found this technological marvel fully functional at M5. Notice the signature by the dash.
Of course, I programmed it to say ‘Hello World!’.

Dad saw an iMac at the Ambassador Hotel at Churchgate, Mumbai, in 1998. Now so have I!
