My hint may leave you with the impression that he was just a business man, so to elaborate on my hint... While he did run his own company, he was, at his heart, a techie, not a business type guy. He was among the very best at what he did and made several astonishing advancements in computer science. And he was a little odd... even for a top computer tech. Example: one of his hobbies was digging tunnels on his estate. They didn't go anywhere or serve any purpose...he just liked digging tunnels. (Another example is that suit... I actually thought that I could have cropped off his head and still someone would get it.)

4. What is on Your Mind?
The title says everything.
I'm wondering how we call in English the person who builds a computer.
I mean instead of buying a branded computer like dell or toshiba, how do you call the guy who assembles computers from pieces of various suppliers.
Thanks for your help

PLTOTF(1) General Commands Manual PLTOTF(1)
NAME
pltotf - convert property list files to TeX font metric (tfm) format
SYNOPSIS
pltotf [-verbose] pl_file_name[.pl] [tfm_file_name[.tfm]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The pltotf program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a (program-oriented) TeX font metric file. Thus, after editing the
property list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example, tex(1).
The pl_file_name is extended with .pl if it lacks a suffix. No path searching is done.
If no tfm_file_name is given, the basename of pl_file_name with suffix .tfm is used; otherwise tfm_file_name is extended with .tfm if it
lacks a suffix.
OPTIONS
Without the -verbose option, pltotf operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.

Howard Trickey, Pavel Curtis, and Richard Furuta originally ported it to Unix.
