Maybe we can get past silicon

Cai, now with Analog Devices, completed the research
I just get the warm and fuzzys hearing that there is still something named "analog" at least--besides the digest mag

Why? What did they do?
Ask google.
How about a monster hard disk?
The reason I want a foolproof operating system written a zero or one at a time is to make things very tight.
It may seem a waste to have a smart quantum computer code for more limited designs, but the result could be hardwired tech that acts as the 2001 Discovery reptile brain that was allowed to operate.
Such an operating system should be the very first task of a good (air-gapped) quantum mainframe. So no hi-jinx.
Later, you have it hack free-standing equipment such as we use, then issue patches. Have it run the program where two machines were talking a new language to each other before the plug was pulled.
This way, should the Quantum AI go bad, we already have work-around poured over just in case. Negative controls...order of operation. I would then try to decomputerize society to a pre-Carrington event, to help employees.
Hard computing uses handle things, and the Quantum contraption allowed to be internet2.
Today’s machines become part of this AI, but after precautions are made.

I wanted to donate my Ryzen 3 2200G to the server machine my brother and I use but it seems that isn't needed so I had the parts for myself, I still had an old Medion computer casing, it is from the late '90's or early 2000's, it used to house a Pentium 4 2.66 Ghz.. so now it houses a modern PSU and the 2200G, from the outside it is just a really ancient machine, it has an exhaust fan position which can hold a 80x80x25mm fan and I made an intake fan mount for a 92x92x25mm fan so it does have airflow.
I've got two of those old Medion casings, pretty nice that even after 20 years you can fit new hardware into them since they're standard micro ATX casings.
I also have a Compaq Deskpro casing which is from 1998, it used to be a Pentium II 400Mhz machine, it now has a AMD Athlon 5350 quad core AM1 system fitted.

Aren't those things super heavy?
The Ozzy variant isn't quite powerful enough to control an ARP 2600 synth.
No, when compared to a Cray or mainframe.
It was lighter than the Kaypro II (29 lbs) vs. the Osborne (24.5 lbs).
Ouch..... Love how they marketed those as portable, luggageable yes, not really portable.
^ IIRC, the term was ‘transportable’...

And what era was your Tape Recorder from to be so bloody heavy?^^ Yeah.. I have a "portable" reel to reel tape recorder.. "only" 14Kg
I know of Full Caliber Long Guns that weigh less than that.
For those uninitiated - a "Main Frame" computer system was called that because it was built on an iron frame (in the olden days). Now, THOSE are NOT portable (sans forklift and large truck anyway).
^^ Yeah.. a IBM System/360 would need quite a few trucks, and with one forklift it would take a few days to get it loaded up.
