For those who think this looks awful, well, this is how we built microprocessor computers at home. In the earliest days, there just weren't' any "computers" to build, just micro processors or at best $1000 development systems or $300 development boards. In the mid-1970's, you could buy a *new car* for a few thousand dollars; $300 was an apartment's monthly rent.
I think a nice hand built computer with a few ads from the time period. Maybe a Trans Am and the price in the ad. It give folks an idea. Also something common like a Wonder Bread add and the cost of a loaf of bread. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
