I'm using a CPLD ... does that make me half demented? I am also not

When I  was talking about scratch, I was talking about a linux box - 
console driven.

I think there was two in byte. A four bit one and a later 32? bit one.
Sigh I miss Killobyte for hardware.

Also a TTL computer will be at the Vintage Computer Festival this year.
Anybody know how the valve computer a few years back is progressing?
