PS. get them quick ... the company closes march 21.
Imagine my delight upon learning that there is NOS
available of CARDIAC: Cardboard Illustrated Aid to Computing, the Bell
Labs
fold-flat computer that taught me so much about assembly language computing. Hurrah!
In 1961, Bell introduced four kits to aid science education at the high school level. In
1968, they made a fifth kit available, called CARDIAC.
Get 'em while their hot-- stock won't last long. I don't think these prices
are accurate anymore, there's an email address for inquiries, since the company is
going out of business. CARDIAC, $19.29, and Vu-Graph for CARDIAC $22.95. I have no idea
what a VuGraph might be and don't think I've ever seen one. But I still have my
trusty CARDIAC, given to me by my 5th grade teacher at the end of the year.
