I think "sell the HP-35 for 3.14 × cost of materials" cool-HP became Agilent, right?

If I wanted to follow the trail of awesomeness what forest should I be sticking my nose to the ground in? :)

That depends on which trail of awesomeness you are after.

The trail that maintains the legacy of DEC and Silicon Graphics and Cray is in HPE (where I work). The Cray legend is still very much alive, but you can still detect the whiff of the the spirit that made HP and DEC minicomputers extraordinary.

Well, I suspect the SGI legacy is now in better hands than when it was controlled by Rackable with branding filed off. The only good parts they sold us were the Ultraviolets, and those were probably the most nonsensical purchase (protip: do not buy supercomputer modules just to run 8 VMs on it, it's waste of money even if the hw is awesome)
