LEDS AND SWITCHES. LUXURY. We had wet string and tin cans etc.

It all reminds me of my career actually. Started off repairing old
pinball machines with relays and bells as a teenager, moved onto core
memory and processors built up from individual gates and ALUs and then
onto the meaty stuff - Z80s. 386's, 486's Pentiums, and so on. Now,
I've gone full circle and it's games on cell phones...well nearly full
circles, the phones ring like they have bells, but they have
surprisingly fast processors and no relays. Not full circle at all in
fact. Don't know why I said that.
