Is it possibile to run Windows XP on an 8 MHz machine with 18 MB RAM? The boot-time of this system is extremly long, 30 minutes! After 13 minutes you can see the first icons, but there are 17 minutes more, where you can do nothing, before you can start "working". Check it out!

This has to be a rebuild of the mother of all computers. Good effort.
It is better to be reactive than radioactive...

Yes, a good effort. But best viewed with the sound turned off?
1) Technic Lego ... the successor to Meccano?
2) Analogue computers ... much overlooked in the "digital age", I reckon (and I write as someone who remembers such interesting kit as ball resolvers, and the famous "Navaid"* fitted in some of the early Chieftain tanks).
* Does anyone else remember those? They used to take a while to "precess", but once they had decided upon where North was, they were surprisingly accurate! Can anyone remember who made them (Sperry, GEC-Elliott ... or someone like that)? Happy Days, as my mate Tony Dowman (aka the Outcast) would say. Tony was a Rapier man, of course, which had analogue computing elements as well. Rapier ... well worth a go on YouTube!

Here's a treat for those who (like me) may have missed it first time around. It's back (but for a few days only)! Enjoy!
