I wanted a computer, but all I got was a
transistor. Denis Defreyne 1
2 I will explain how to build a computer from
scratch. I cannot do this without taking some shortcuts. I will tell lies. CAUTION

In the beginning, the transistor was created. 4

Now we have registers. 53
Q: What distinguishes a computer from a simple calculator? 54
A: You can program a computer, but not a calculator.
