Happy birthday, ARM1. It is 35 years since Britain's Acorn RISC Machine chip sipped power for the first time

Re: My Beloved Electron

As a child I liked knowing how things worked and we are now so far from the ground in IT its hard to show kids how a modern computer works. I have spent some time with a few kids and an 8080 simulator to take them few a few simple steps and when I've had access to the internet and kids the Visual6502 is a way of showing them the silicon running the code along with the code. I wonder if a Knuth revisited on a real machine might make a good educational toy.
