Well, for those not challenged enough by the ZX80/81 project
earlier in the thread, you could always build a computer
out of relay switches, and other discrete components - it
would be a great thing to do with a school.
See <http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~harry/Relay/>
for details :)
But not valves - the electricity use is unjustifiable,
unfortunately, unless you have your own hydro
turbine. Keep the valves for audio gear :-)
