I started this project in August 2020 and after a few weeks when I was just about finished assembling the pieces it fell off my work bench and broke into dozens of fragments that I then threw into the corner of my shop out of frustration. There it sat quietly judging me and haunting me for almost 3 years until I got tired of it being in my way and finally finished it to put it out of my misery.

So this post is for everyone with an unfinished project lurking in the corners of their shop collecting dust. You can do it!

Core memory unlocked Haven’t seen that “It’s now safe to turn off your computer” in 20 years.

Yeah I remember it from the couple of computers that my grade school had. I don't know even know what operating system this screen comes from.

I do know that I spent way too many hours playing Oregon Trail on them in after school care.
