“Thankfully, My employer has an Ancient Shiva Terminal Server in existence.”

“Thankfully, My employer has an Ancient Shiva Terminal Server in existence.” at about 4m57s in to this marvellous video.

Mark Pesce, a former employee of Shiva, speaks to us through the tones on in the 1964 modem-in-a-wooden box.

In relation to my previous post on His Holiness Mark Pesce being transmitted via Twitter: via a 300 baud modem the timing is as follows:

194.6Mb (one week of Mark Pesce on the telly, ABC1 HD quality, not compressed) would take 5,426,938 seconds to transmit. This is 62.811 days.

Compared to Twitter, a so-called “modern” technology taking 607.5 days, we can see that 1964 technology and Shiva brilliance is nearly an order of magnitude better.

According to wikipedia, Mark was born in 1962.

It is therefore obvious (via QED) that Mark is a child prodigy. And worth of great-leader status.
