I have a copy of that poster in good condition as well as at least one related one (Unix wars), but am too lazy to dig it out so I'll go from memory. There are tees in the pipes and I think the trap and valve was significant. I think

The first time I did this in 2001 it took me a week. It's still up there as one of the most educational things I've ever done. A perfect graduate level class would be "here's a box full of computer parts, at the end of
