Some from column A, some from column B. Wolf may have misrepresented some of the Xanadu team's work during the Autodesk years, but I suspect that it was mostly Ted's pride being needled.
I like Ted - he's a personable guy, and he has made a significant contribution to computer science with the thought experiment that Xanadu has been. He's also deeply bitter (partly with reasonable justification) and irascible. I've often been struck by the thought that there are strong parallels between Ted and Charles Babbage.
