El Reg has a write-up on the amazingly beautiful and hopelessly impractical Honeywell Kitchen Computer. We've covered this bizarre piece of computing history before on OSNews, in my list of the ten most beautiful computers. For those that have no idea what I'm talking about, read on for more details. Trust me, you want to know.

Enough for today too, I'd say. After all, kitchen recipes haven't become more complex, and ~1MHz is more than enough to drive the UI of a recipe storage. Although, of course, you'd take a cheap ~25MHz microcontroller today, simply because they aren't more expensive.
No, it wasn't the CPU that doomed this device.
