Thanks, that's probably the list I had in mind.
I though there was another list, of technologies developed in Israel (e.g.
Intel Pentium etc).

BTW - I guess my "fdlink" project (https://github.com/amosshapira/fdlink)
also qualifies for that list, though it's main purpose as of today is
probably as the historical basis for "frelink".
