    I remember back in the early 80's while attending tech, playing with nixie tubes we found at a surplus store to make a clock. Here's a new take on old tech. Smart Nixie Tube[^] Very cool.:cool: [Edit] Fix broken link, Thanks Dave. :-O

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

              When you build something so retro, then you also need the oldest processor you can get. Here[^] is a clock that has been built with regular tubes and a CDP1802 processor. The minimal circuit (CPU, memory and clock plus drivers for the tubes) should be easy to build and to program and is 100% CMOS, which should help to work with the voltages needed to drive the tubes.

              The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
              I hold an A-7 computer expert classification, Commodore. I'm well acquainted with Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries. The basic design of all our ship's computers are JavaScript.
