In the 1940's how many people were able to build a
radio reciever with
what
they found in the battle field (razor blade, safety pin, knife, wire,
headset), how many could today? The same applies to computer technology.
Hi
I could. Junk today has more useable parts than the
junk they had then. Making a AM radio is quite easy today.
Dwight to certain computer technology.
Ditto for making a processor from SSI/MSI chips (I've done this for a
special-purpose programmable device, turning it into a processor would
not have been hard), reading/writing microcode, etc, etc, etc.
Mind you, these days most people can't even wire an RS232 cable and get
it right....
