Probably trying to recreate this lecture by Grace Hopper [1]

I still have my nanowire, received directly from Grace herself during one of her last lectures I attended in the 80’s.

Of course, it’s in among about a thousand other wires and cables and nonsense.

One of these days I should sort it out and try to identify it by length.

She had a very firm handshake, and a very definite glint in her eye as she handed those out to her star struck fans ..


I'm sure that's what it was. I probably should have remembered that, but it was such a small part of one of his lectures it didn't resonate as deeply as it should have.
