I see you've got your negative feedback
coupled into your push-pull input-output.
Take that across though your head-end pickup to your tweeter,
if you're modding more than eight you'll get wow on your top!
Try to bring it through your preamp rumble filter to your woofer,
what'll you get?
FLUTTER ON YOUR BOTTOM!

I see there's also "A Song of Computation" at
http://www.durge.org/~edwin/songs/computation.html
I wonder if anybody on this list ever had a love affair with
a PDP-11/45? I was only ever an admirer from a distance ;-> .
