Xanadu sounds like a first class example of Raymond's Cathedral and Bazaar, with Ted as high priest. Perhaps if he'd gotten his hands dirtier earlier, he'd have better appreciated the impractical demerits of all such grand designs.

Some 30 years hence, I'm surprised such windmills are still tilted at.
