Is this how Utah writes articles? I've not read something so badly written in a very long time. If there wasn't an exclamation mark at the end of each sentence, I would have at least expected a big shiny happy clown face to have appeared! =-)
"It's really fast! >" "You could shoot it and it'll keep working!! >" "It can rearrange its wires a thousand times a second!! >"
Next time, Utah News, some *fact* and *detail* would be nice.
I remember, in about 1982, a couple of years after I built my first computer (a ZX80 in '79), I had a game for the Apple ][ called "Rocky's Boots". Rocky was a groundhog or something, and he went around this maze of rooms creating Rube Goldberg type machines using cool little cartoon AND/OR/NOR/NOT/XOR/XAND gates. This was aimed at REALLY young kids, like 5 or so. It was how I learned electronics. I've still got the game, and a working Apple ][, and I'd love to see someone clone it. It's the kind of thing we *really* need these days... something fun, non-violent, educational, and not condescending to kids. Anyone else remember it?
