    Great story. I'm struck by the design similarity to the first iPod models, with the large wheel moved to the center.

      It's quite similar to my Grandad's Spica ST600 (started production in 1964).

      They both had a leather case, too.

    Very applicable to today's AI market moving so quickly. NVIDIA's recent open models are effectively the same as TI building a Radio to sell transistors.
