"The Mother of All Demos" is a name retroactively applied to a
landmark computer demonstration, given at the ACM/IEEE - Computer
Society's Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, which was
presented by X on December 8, 1968.The 90-minute presentation
essentially demonstrated almost all the fundamental elements of
modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient
navigation and command input, video conferencing, the Y, word
processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative
real-time editor. X's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate
all of these elements in a single system. Needless to say it was truly
"The Mother of The Demos".
Give me X and Y.

Allen Hoover, who lives in rural Pennsylvania, makes his living retrofitting
woodworking tools to run on alternative power, mainly for X clients. As word
processors were being replaced with computers that had internet
capabilities, he saw a need for a stripped-down machine for X. He consulted
local X church groups to find out the rules and what they wanted; the most
popular request was for spreadsheets for inventory, tracking and creating
receipts. Then he teamed up with computer programmers, using open-
source software, to built the ultimate X computer.
For which group of "plain people" did he built the computer which had "no
internet, no video, no music"? (2007)

In 2001, when Xbox was released, Microsoft didn't want to leave the
console sounding boring with all of the incredible technology they put
into it, so they added some ambient noises which play while the
hulking gaming machine sat doing nothing else. At times if you had it
running long enough, you heard things that didn't sound right and was
too much creepy and scary. Microsoft explains that those creepy
ambient audio clips were "public domain audio transmissions from the
X days that we tweaked for that sound”.

A proof-of-work (PoW) system is an economic measure to deter denial
of service attacks and other service abuses such as spam on a network
by requiring some work from the service requester, usually meaning
processing time by a computer. A key feature of these schemes is their
asymmetry: the work must be moderately hard (but feasible) on the
requester side but easy to check for the service provider.
