stretch
for even the best Nikkor or Canon lenses at anything other than f/8 or
f/11.


and at that density and stop-down, one will likely start to hit
diffraction limits anyway...

No, he said it.


No, he didn't. Try finding the exact quote.

He claims he didn't.

I was at MIT when Bill was dropping out of Harvard. He showed up at a
meeting of a student computer group that I missed, and asked people to work
with him. He got laughed at: "We have real computers to work with" was the
attitude since that particular group was given a chunk of the Multics system
to play with.

MIT nerds can be amazing turkeys, sometimes.

Well, who knew?

What happened was a combination of skill, good sense, and a major
dollup of luck. There's lots of the first two around. It is the
last that is in short supply.
