You need a hobby, don't you?

Of course you need a hobby. You can't spend your life in front of the internet. No. Trust me. You can't. So why not build an AGC? John Pultorak has.

What's an AGC? John, please explain:
"The AGC is the flight computer for the Apollo moon landings, with one unit in the command module and one in the LEM.

I built it in my basement. It took me 4 years.

If you like, you can build one too. It will take you less time, and yours will be better than mine."
I admire your faith, John, but you've never seen me handle a soldering iron. Should you wish to give it a go, here are the instructions.
