- If it ain't broke, don't fix it: ancient computers in use today -- "From 1970s minicomputers used for military programs (including nuclear weapons) to an IBM punch-card system still keeping the books at a Texas filter supplier, these are the computers that time forgot." http://www.networkworld.com/slideshow/38761 22 comments technology
- Magic-1 is a completely homebuilt minicomputer. It doesn't use an off-the-shelf microprocessor, but instead has a custom CPU made out of 74 Series TTL chips and runs a port of Minix 2. (M-1 is the work of Bill Buzbee of the Android team) http://www.homebrewcpu.com/ 6 comments programming
