In 1978 MIT CS students Danny Hillis and Brian Silverman designed a working computer capable of playing tic-tac-toe against a human opponent entirely out of Tinker Toys.
The machine consisted of 10,000 wooden parts and fishing line, and was designed with the help of a LISP program running on a DEC PDP-10.
In a letter to computer pioneer Gordon Bell describing the project, Hillis said the machine could have been built by any six-year-old with 500 sets of Tinker Toys, and a PDP-10.

I really like the use of monochromatic color. i think it reads as really fun and really modern and so vibrant and exciting. especially on this bright fun red which looks like a gorgeous metal finish. judging by some brief glances at a video showing the design, the metal really gives it a firey look that looks even orangey in the thumbnail for the first video on youtube. really cool.
i think the most iconic use of colorful design in computers, in my opinion, is the old y2k mac computers. and personally, right now, when im thinking of how exciting it might be to think of a line of beautiful vibrant colorful computers with the functional design i was talking about in my previous post, like retro cool chic style... like the implementation of CD and even floppy disk...
to me, my one displeasure from an aesthetic point is just the silver trim, like on this design. and when i google "brightly colored laptop designs" it seems like the vast majority are that kind of color pop on a silver or black metal machine.
what i like about the y2k apple computers and what i think captured the imagination and adoration of pop culture was the way it really didn't have that machine aesthetic, of like. you have a pop of color slapped onto some silver machine parts. which i think is also, something that I would think of in terms of bulky, neon-colored gamer machine aesthetics.
i really love the playfulness of the y2k apple design. it appeals to a free, childlike whimsy and also to a sense of like... playfulness detached from the confinements of the conception of the machine and what the machine has become in terms of marketing and advertisement. like it's easier for me to imagine say, the y2k apple design or the solid color kelly-green boxy 80s inspo i have in my head as an extension of the playful functionality of type-writers.
which is far more fun to me, than a beefy silver machine with a list of specs. in terms of aesthetic design concept

Okay, so: there's a local restaurant whose online ordering process involves various selecting various sauces to be included with one's order – so many units of teriyaki sauce, so many units of hot sauce, so may units of peanut sauce, and so forth.
The idea is supposed to be that you can select any combination of sauces you want, as long as it adds up to no more than four units. However, what the app actually required is that you select exactly four units of sauces; it wouldn't let you submit the ordering form if the total wasn't exactly four.
Just today I discovered that they seem to have fixed it... not by correcting the errant validation rule, but by adding a "no sauce" option, which counts toward the required total of four.
Thus, it's now possible to place an order with, say, two units of teriyaki sauce rather than four by entering 2x "teriyaki sauce" and 2x "no sauce". Similarly, an order with no sauce at all is 4x "no sauce".
This is quite possibly the least intuitive ordering process I've ever encountered, and I've literally worked in e-commerce.

A good demonstration of how analog computing might have fundamental advantages over digital can be seen in any old-school vector graphics game.
Asteroids maintains an uncanny modern look to it even to this day, due to its ultra-sharp vector graphic display.
The program powering Asteroids is still digital of course not analog, but the display system uses an electron beam that sweeps continuously across the phosphor screen, giving essentially infinite resolution compared to lighting up a grid of discrete pixels. This approach is fundamentally analog.
An analog computer would have similar unique abilities to do precise calculations without having to model values as a set of fixed 1/0 values
