Linus Torvalds and I had the same computer

Hardware

Photo of Linus holding the same laptop I had!

In fact, I could do him one better! I had the Sony VAIO PCG-C1VM, which had the Crusoe chip his employer Transmetta made at the time.

Half a decade later, and we both had the same dual 2GHz PowerMac G5s.
