We need simple, easily-understood computers that anyone can code on if they take an interest and apply themselves a little.

I think 80s micros fit that description. Not only can they be easily repaired, but they also, happily, draw very little power when operating.

The current over-consumptive nature of capitalist computing is as immoral as it is unsustainable. We need to scale down, and focus more on the grass roots of computer freedom and literacy.

I am hoping this little project of mine will meet a minimum standard as a potential device for computer freedom and literacy.
