The first webmaster for my co. (machina dynamica) was a certain Dr. Tom Slivinski, the first person to be awarded a PhD in Computer Science by University of Illinois, Urbana in the mid-sixties. Urbana was the seat of computer science development in the US (as depicted in 2001) and where the first real advanced computer was developed. Dr. Slivinski, who may or may not have been portrayed by Dr. Chandra in 2010, was one of the developers of the advanced computer depicted by HAL 9000.
