I saw the mechanism in person recently on a trip to Greece and it was a strangely electric experience. That such a thing could have been made two thousand years ago is hard to believe. It seems almost supernatural, an artefact of time travel or something. I watched it for more than an hour, but it didn't do anything.

Bushnell is one of my all-time heroes. He struck the motherlode with Atari, and then parlayed that success into a bunch of different ventures that were way ahead of their time, most of which failed spectacularly, none of which failed spectacularly enough to dissuade him from pressing on to the next thing.

I truly believe he is as much a visionary as Steve Jobs ever was, the difference being that Jobs had the patience to wait for technology to catch up to his vision, whereas Bushnell did his level best to invent it.
