This paper exhibits two thin-tall superatomic Boolean algebras (dually: two thin-tall scattered compact Hausdorff spaces) \(B\) and \(C\) with various extremal properties. Both satisfy the following: the Stone space is sub-Ostaszewski (closed sets are countable or co-countable), every uncountable subalgebra contains an uncountable ideal of the large algebra, every set of incomparable elements is countable, each uncountable quotient is thin-tall and has the properties above. \(B\)~is isomorphic to each of its uncountable subalgebras. Both are quite rigid in the sense that each homomorphism between quotients with an uncountable range lifts to the identity on an ideal which is close to principal and, in~\(C\) even principal.
