[OLPC-Chicago] high level to low level

[George Dorner]

Andrew and Mel:

This is reminiscent of the Cardiac (actually cardboard!) computer  
that was given to educators by Bell Labs in the 60's. CARDboard  
Illustrative Aid to Computing. 10 op codes, 100 storage locations.  
Pics and info by Googling.

I got mine from friends taking CS at IIT when I was teaching at  
Loyola (math at Lake Shore). I still have it, but it hasn't operated  
in 30 or 35 years.  8-)

  'Twould be nice to have yours or a CARDIAC emulator for showing  
kids and letting them learn the innards.
