- @Buidhe: Thanks for the review. I have changed the wording in the article body to attribute the view expressed. But trying to incorporate that into the ALT0 hook seems too unwieldy. So I have also added some new material about the engineering difficulties the company faced, and here are two possible hooks based on that:
- ALT1: ... that 1980s American manufacturer Parallel Computers, Inc. was one of a wave of new companies trying to make fault-tolerant systems?
