If I ever become a billionaire, I am going to have an entire big room in my house dedicated to pre-electric computers. It's amazing how much stuff got borderline-trivial once the transistor became ubiquitous, and stuff like The Writer Automaton has always been something that has utterly fascinated me.
- eks391 2y agoIf I ever happen upon a large fortune, I'd gladly give it to you if you used it for this and let me play with all the computers until I knew how they work. I studied mechanical engineering, and work in other fields now. Although I see and understand their importance to society, I am always fascinated by manipulation of mechanical principles to reach an objective.
