With 1 #transistor, I can make an inverter, a switch, or a not-very-good amplifier.
With 2 transistors, I can make a differential amplifier, a cascode, or a latch.
With 3 transistors, I can make a fairly good (Wilson) current mirror, or a Lorenz chaotic system.
20,000 transistors made a #computer that navigated spacecraft to the Moon and back.

The very short story of neschat's lispy query language so far: https://github.com/makoConstruct/munk
It's taking a little longer than I thought it would, so I'm going to try making the prototype without it. If that sucks then I can always pick it up again.

Numlock on keyboard toggles light but that’s about it.
Memtest86 has come up clean in the recent past. Disks are fine. Video card is ok too I swapped all these for spare components.
