positronic computer instructions
Plural: positronic computer instructions
Legend says if you fold this pamphlet in just the right direction, hold it up to a mirror, and have someone translate the words into Russian, then Chinese, and then back into your native language, you just might be able to get enough sense out of them to put a home-built positronic computer together. Maybe. Not that you should count on that or anything.

What is for sure is this is an advanced model of computer, and unless you're especially skilled with gadgets you'll probably never figure out how to make one.

If you don't have all the parts

It looks like you're missing a couple of pieces. It's bad when you have parts left over, but it's even worse when you don't have enough parts to start with.

If you have the parts

It looks like you've got enough parts to assemble a positronic computer. Would you like to go ahead and put one together?

Build the Machine

If you are not a Gadgeteer

You've got all the pieces, but you can't make heads or tails of the instructions. Apparently you need some kind of degree, or an inherent affinity for gadgets, to understand positronic computing and notation.

If you do have Supercomputer Skills

With much bashing and smashing and crashing of the poor computer's parts, you eventually get a working model put together.

  • The build text ("bashing and smashing and crashing of the poor computer's parts") is suspiciously similar to the style of speech used by Gurgi in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander.
