    Ah the good old days, when computers were so simple and yet so mysterious and exciting at the same time.

      I don't know, I still find them exciting -- although PC hardware isn't as fun as it used to be.

  I call foul. This doesn't even look like it's powered up. Edit: Wow. 3.5 years on HN and my first down-voted post. I guess I should have added a sarcasm tag or stick with keeping comments "safe".

    > 3.5 years on HN and my first down-voted post Honest? Then, if I were you, I'd try to be a bit less consensual from time to time. I got plenty of downvotes. I would hope even pg get his share, that would show sane critical thinking.

    That would have been really cool, and a true hackers machine, but I imagine that the days when LISP needs (or benefits from) custom hardware are long gone.
