While it was apparent during his rant that he was faced with psychological issues, it was also apparent he was vastly intelligent. Additionally, and more importantly, I'm touched that everyone sees through it, and while recognising his challenges, also recognised his genius. We aren't as bad off as we thing we are.

Thank you for the review of Terry's OS . He evaluated things from his own unique prospective. when still in high school he was using a C 64 to do his calculus homework the teacher called him on it and he said but I wrote the program ...after explaining the program he was allowed to use it but still had to do 1 problem a day by hand . I tried to get him to write a game program to use a exercise bicycle interface I had made the faster you peddle the faster you man would go on the screen it was fun to out run the ghosts in packman and worked well with joust .. he looked at it and dismissed the idea " no one wants to exercise to computer games wouldn't even let me pay him to do it ... this was 1985 well before x box and Nintendo had any interactive games ( sigh.. what could have been ) The last picture you have of him on his left is what he called a shaper he made a 3D milling machine out of a dermal tool it worked well carving a bar of soap or balsa wood but wasn't smooth ( chatter from a flexible frame and a rotary file bit not a milling bit that he needed ) so he tossed it in a dumpster :( .. What he didn't realize was the mechanical problems were easily solvable ..the most amazing part of it was that he could give it a CAD drawing of a part and it would figure out the tool path so a self programming 3 D milling machine WOW !!!

I remember reaching out to Terry just to see if he was OK, he seemed a bit scrambled at the time, and he was actually a genuinely nice person. Granted I have a bit of experience with schizophrenia after my best friend in highschool got it pretty seriously, so I have a high tolerance for psychosis, but he meant well. He was a genius trapped in a world of delusion and bad choices. The OS was nutty, but it was packed with interesting ideas and the poor guy actually deserved a bit of respect, not for making a functional OS, the thing was barely functional, but for actually trying out some genuinely interesting ideas. The beauty of science is, the experiment doesnt have to work to learn something from it, so its one of the great ironies of science that this schizophrenic religious dude was doing more science than most PhD weilding computer science departments will do in a lifetime. But oh man was he suffering. Schizophrenia can make life a living hell.

How so? Most C "speed" comes from compiler optimizations. In fact GCC will turn most naive microbenchmarks you'd run on a C-64 into a no-op which it can execute in literally zero time, because they don't execute, because they aren't there, because the compiler saw the bullshit you were pulling. GCC will turn a recursive call into a loop, unroll it, inline it, propagate constants, eliminate dead code, eliminate the test for the branch to dead code, and do a whole mess of other things so that what is 50 instructions in -O0 is 6 instructions in -O3. And then finally this function is small enough to inline somewhere else, and so it never even gets called, it just works 15 times faster than it rightly should.
