A project log for The Cardboard Computer - IO is my name

My goal is a 4-bit CPU using recycled cardboard substrate and Diode Transistor Logic. This is an educational platform for me.

The above link is to help generate funds to replace my car. I was in a accident on Sept 30, 2017 and thankfully I am OK as was the other party involved. However I have been informed that my car is totaled :-) The insurance companies are dragging their heels and I need to get something that is safe to drive. My car does drive but not very well. My wife, Stephanie Young posted the funding page.

Thank you for any help :-)

The first donation today, Thank You :-)

November 8, 2017. I am very happy to report that A local donor has given me a car for free and the funds that were donated took care of the Tag and Title costs so a big THANK YOU to those who helped me out :-)

Thank you just the same Chris :-) That dinger mangled the frame so that's why it is totaled :-(

Ah, the wonders of unibody (aka monocoque) construction -- the body IS the frame. Cheaper to make, easier to destroy...
