Speaking of books,
has anyone seen the book "We Built our own Computers" by A.B. Holt,
Cambridge Univ. Press, published about 1966.
I remember one from years ago which was how to build (and program)
a simple computer using paperclips and lights... (and a program
'drum' made out of a coffee can). I think I still have it... is this
what you're thinking of?
