Re: Turn 8
The old computer store "Babbage's" was named after Charles Babbage, a 19th century Englishman who designed/invented mechanical calculation devices that were the forerunners of today's computers. They were meant to do things like calculate tables of logarithms and other tables of data important for engineering and ship navigation. You couldn't actually "program" them (the "program" they ran was determined by how they were put together), but they were revolutionary computation devices for their time.
So I was joking that I was running Dominions on a very old and slow mechanical machine. (On the other hand, some people build them as hobbies today!)
