    Not fast enough and not enough memory. Also no graphical interface. What do you want for $23 million in 2023 dollars?

    Image of the inside of the first computer I used (LGP-30) showing the columns of tubes. Memory was a drum and the only input/output was a typewriter (flexowriter) and paper tape.

    OK, how about a tiny 3D-printed Apple IIe? It's smaller than an Apple mouse and it actually functions.
