Hmm... I happen to have a couple of 4004 chips
(one pulled from a
non-UPC barcode scanner, the other from a commercial kitchen scale),
and I've long fantasized about building some showcase 4004 circuit,
probably a digital clock.
Wouldn't a terminal or calculator be the canonical circuit for which
the 4004 was designed?
