       | At university I built a 4 bit stack based CPU out of TTL. It had
       | store, load opcodes and could address 8K words of RAM so it had
       | some actual utility. It was one of the most interesting things
       | I've ever done. Annoyed they wouldn't let me take it at the end
       | of the course!

       | something.
