    Device called a "computer" re-invented from old vacuum tubes and relays, calculates 3rd digit of pi in 8 hours. Seriously, I can see some fascination with, and respect for, retro technology. But to create a keyboard from an old manual typewriter? Hardly useful or relevant. Hope you don't like arrow keys either...
