I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.

    Homebrew computers. I started with a 8 bit z80 and kept at it until I almost got a 80486 based homebrew working. I got it to run 3 bytes of program data before crashing one time. Computers are hard. I keep hoping someone else will find the missing piece to the puzzle but I ain’t getting any further with this otherwise. Homebrewers are on 286 and 386 stuff right now so they’ll get to 486 eventually.

      I think most people would be surprised that computers barely work. It’s only thanks to a bunch of tricks that make them seem more reliable than they are.
