I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about the fun the nerdy kids these days could be having if they discovered classic computers.

Actually, there is one kid I've been talking to in e-mail (although he's 19 now so "kid" may not be appropriate anymore). He built some sort of digital logic contraption with relays out of an old elevator controller! It sounds wild. He said it can do actual useful work, such as image processing. I don't know the total details, but I'm trying to get him to exhibit it at the Vintage Computer Festival. He said its very large and would be a burden to move, but I'm trying to figure out a way to help him get it to the venue. That sort of project should inspire many people around his age to embark on similar projects of their own.
