No idea why, but whenever I come across a system, I end up asking myself "how
could this have been done* without electronics?" - I find mechanical analogues
of electronic/electrical systems fascinating...
* Not cheaper, faster, to the same scale etc. obviously - just whether it
could be done at all.
Hi
A few years back I gave a lot of thought to a computer that used
marbles for bits. It was mainly intended as a visual computer.
