Early in 2017—nearly two years ago—System76 invited me, and a handful of others, out to its Denver headquarters for a sneak peek at something new they'd been working on. We were ushered into a windowless, underground meeting room. Our phones and cameras confiscated. Seriously. Every word of that is true. We were sworn to total and complete secrecy. Assumedly under penalty of extreme death...though that part was, technically, never stated. Once the head honcho of System76, Carl Richell, was satisfied that the room was secure and free from bugs, the presentation began.（早在2017年初，也就是大约两年前，System76邀请我以及少数其他人前往其位于丹佛的总部，先睹为快他们正在开发的新产品。我们被带到一个没有窗户的地下会议室。我们的手机和相机被没收了。 认真地说。 这每一个字都是真的。 我们被要求完全和彻底的保密。 据推测，会受到极刑的惩罚……尽管从技术上讲，这部分从未明确说明。 一旦 System76 的负责人 Carl Richell 确信房间安全且没有窃听器，演示就开始了。）
