Pipes

Today, a little bit of history. Think about the lowly pipe |. Where did it come from? Is it really that important? How is something that was developed overnight 45 years ago relevant today?. Then think about rNA and how there's a graph of data flow. AXL is more than a simple |, but conceptually it's | + tee. Something to think about. And for further reading, the Bell Systems Technical Journal from August 1978. Check out the bottom of page 8. So much of how we do things now comes from those 4 simple rules.
