From what I have read, the people at PARC got there by similar routes, there was one group from SDS and another from Evans & Sutherland. I'm not sure we still have the same kind of "landmarks" that will attract the right people.

- PhantomGremlin 11y agoWow. That's quite close. I'm sure you get the reference, but since we're dealing with a worldwide audience, here's where it originates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_$64,000_Question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_$64,000_Question It was a meme: "a common catchphrase for a particularly difficult question or problem"
