I have officially become the guy who cites Felsenstein (1985) at people in peer reviews but in my defense, I was provoked

My dad had one of these (an Osborne One) because it was invented by his high school friend Lee Felsenstein. He used it into the 1990s. He did a lot of writing in WordStar.

Joe Felsenstein also elected.

Joe Felsenstein also elected.
also, humble brag but I got to shake hands with Lee Felsenstein who was the engineer that led the design of the Osborne 1 computer (of which i have two of his early models)
very chill and cool guy, and a huge postitive influence in open computing and tinkering

I like to joke that cladistics is the all-time "well actually" discipline of science. Cladists spent decades "well actually"-ing one another in their own journal (and some of them still do). In fact, Felsenstein may need to add this definition to his list for what the word "cladistics" means
