Excellent! That will certainly do something captivating.
Hammurabi/Sumer might be a little long to type in live, but it
shouldn't be hard to start with the right section of the Programming
Handbook and bang out a 1-4-line FOCAL program to demonstrate how
"fast" the machine is (Sieve of Eratosthenes anyone?)
If you have the opportunity to video that rig running through its
paces, I think it would be fun to see. You could upload it to YouTube
as "Portable Computer from 1970". ;-)
