Not worth it. Traditionally the earliest amateur computers were built
out of Strowger relays and pinball machine parts. As for earliest micro-
computer I have a friend who still has his 4004 based computer. (And for
what it is worth perhaps the earliest micro-computer multitasking OS
went into the OM-55 satcom modem for the Navy. It was built by Magnavox
in Torrance back when 8080s were about $100-$150 a piece. On the other
paw there may be something even older than that. But COSMAC ELF is a piker.
Trust me on that one. Even my Processor Technology Sol PC is relatively
new on the block compared to the first toys out there. (6502 based
thingies need not apply. And I think the Sol PC design predated the
COSMAC and F8 chips, too.)
(I passed up acquiring a mostly built Altair when its owner died of
pancreatic cancer. I was playing with bigger iron, some nice Hewlett
Packard 8500 consoles based on their 2100S mini-computer. I built
myself a nice interactive circuit analysis program. That was before
They discovered I could commit software as well as design fancy
Radio Frequency electronics. All of which is mooted by the couple
people I know who built pinball machine and Strowger relay based
things.)

Where do you think the Brazilians came from? Rome had been there.

Josenildo is quite a photographer, besides being a knowledgeable gentleman BTW, thanks for the 4/1 laff ;) Now this one _is_ serious Adding what is perhaps its most significant member to date, the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) has announced that longtime open source opponent Microsoft is joining its ranks, giving Eric Raymond a seat on the Microsoft Board of Directors and agreeing to a sweeping intellectual property agreement this week. OSDL said that after several hours of intense negotiations, officials of the center of gravity for Linux and open source had brokered the deal with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who downplayed the membership of a proprietary software maker in an open source organization. http://www.newsforge.com/articles/05/03/31/1219223.shtml?tid=149 -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Actually, I'm at a crossroad to switch from windows (for 10 years, since win 3.1.1) to Linux (mandrake 10.0) also, for cost benefit, and the fact is become clear and more every time, that Linux must be paid or something also.

[JDOW] Rumor has it that this ancient Roman (and perhaps earlier)
tradition may have made it to Brazil via Portugal. A lot of other
things may have, too. But that's only rumor. I didn't see if with my
own eyes. (I'm ancient, but not THAT ancient.)

Where do you think the Brazilians came from? Rome had been there.
Etruscans had been there. Phoenicians had been there. Egyptians had been
there. The Atlanteans had been there, the Polynesians had been there.
Needless to say, though, I have inside information that Josenildo
