On that note, this non-retro little computer really pleases me.

It's a modern version of a 1980s home micro. $10 if you build it from
one-off bits. Less in bulk.

32-bit RISC chip -- actually a wifi controller -- with a super fast
BASIC interpreter, complete with structured programming and sprite
commands and so on.

The display is a DRAM chip that happens to be able to generate an
analog monitor signal.

Amazing little gadget. I have a PCB and plan to try to build one.
