Cool. That said this guy is basically describing a notebook. No computer necessary. If his goal was a 1000 year computer that would be something. Unless every person on earth wants to become a PHD in CS this is a dead end. How do you fix this computer otherwise, hire someone? Yeah its called the market and it sells $150 replacement computers when yours dies. Exactly 1 person on earth would use this and its the author. It always bothers me a bit when tech people get so wrapped up in a rabbit hole of a pointless obsession. His skills/time could be used much better elsewhere.

And, if the comments here are any indication: a lot of techies would be absolutely charmed to find unearth such a machine from a dusty box. I know I would! Watching the incredible work of amateur retro-computing enthusiasts today, I have no doubt that whatever Steve Lord creates could find an enthusiastic operator a century from now.
