Actually I've given quite a bit a thought
about
making a computer that uses marbles instead of electricity
or water. You'd put a bucket of marbles at the top and
turn the crank. Gravity would bring the mrbles to the bottom
where one could scoop them up and recycle.
Hey Dwight.
That's been done (sort of). It's called Dr. Nim :) They come up on eBay
periodically.
