    Hand-routed PCBs are so much prettier than those done with autorouting.

    @dingus: You can still make it pretty with autoroute, if you care to. Same goes for custom (analog) layout. Unfortunately, we usually just don't have the time, since the schedule rules all.



    Also, imagine how long it'd take to hand route a multi-core chip...wow...

    @DPeezy: Autorouting with DRC is the only way to go with anything in a BGA or over 100MHz.

    "It went on sale in July 1976 at a price of $666.66… In April 1977 the price was dropped to $475."



    Of course, this was way back when people had pride and dignity, and so there was no outcry from early adopters about how they’d been ‘screwed’

    @nutbastard: And I do not. I honestly don't know what I'd do with one. I can emulate one rather easily, and while some people collect such things, to me it's just more clutter and junk to set my brain off into very bad places.





    I go well out of my way to not keep stuff like this around.

    It’s not that I WANT to be known as the dick who sold off the family heirloom, but you can’t have your cake (antique computer) and eat (spend) it too. I don’t care about love my family so fuck ‘em I’ll have to take it in the night talk to them about it first, but I’m pretty sure I can murder convince them.

    What about the first true PC, the Altair 8800? MITS was still shipping the model A kits in '79. I have my Dad's original from '78.

    I wonder if they'll ever go back to Wood for the Mac's. IT can be quiet stylish, though guess heating is a major issues these days.
