Dunno if I would really call it a computer? Certainly it was a machine to
play tic-tac-toe, made out of tinkertoys... but generally, I think of
computers as... I dunno... kinda having a 'processing' stage to them... Or
maybe it's that the programs are interchangeable... dunno... Maybe it was a
computer... hmm...
But it certainly was a very cool machine! I'd be quite eager to see one out
of Lego-- at least one that was mechanical in nature like this guy's... Of
course, I seem to remember that Mario Ferrari (I think it was him?) built
one using an RCX-- does that count? ;)
