Well, if you
put no limit on the number of diodes (just 3 terminal
devices), you can go a heckuva long way using tunnel diodes or even
diacs.
I'd love to find a huge stash of a few thousand new-old-stock
tunnel
diodes. :-(

Well that too, of course. ;) I'd love to have a bunch to build
cool things with, primarily the logic circuits Chuck alluded to.
I wonder if there's an easy discrete component circuit that
approximates the behavior of a tunnel diode with cheap parts. I
kinda doubt it.
