I actually built a tiny computer as a junior high school project.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.
I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.
Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.
In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved.
My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
I take computers practically apart and put them back together. I have a supercomputer I built over the years out of different computers.
If you know how to make software, then you can create big things.
I could never understand how to build a computer, but the best I could hope for is to understand the people that do.
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
I remember having computers at my parents' house growing up. We had different desktop PCs, but my first laptop was an IBM ThinkPad laptop. It was big, bulky, slow and terrible.
