Enjoyed this  

I had an old faulty TV that was left outside for months on the roof (I was living in a big house in London). When Summer came around, we would go up to the roof. One day I wondered about the TV.

Third and Fourth world countries have far better computing power...

I still have a working Radio Shack Color Computer in my garage somewhere...

Elon Musk learned to program on a Commodore 64 computer,  he wrote some programs and was able to sell them for a lot of money. From there he was able to invest money into other things.

Carl,

Yes, I read Elon's early beginnings. He was driven by a passion to do better, make things better, and make money for himself.

Look where that nonsense got him!!
