I remember helping Wong Hsiao-Yü build his model 1 abacus during the reign of
Emperor Po-Tzo the second.
Or was it Babbage and his model 1 Difference Engine?
It must have been Babbage, since I also remember when he suddenly awoke from an
opium dream and exclaimed "MAINFRAME!".
There. Now we're back on track.
