I read, then reflected and realized that I was tearing, crying a bit, hairs standing on my
skin.
I guess this news really got to me. Serious!

Greek computer reassembled, I remember reading about this two decades ago, and wondered if it would ever be deciphered.

Thu, December 18, 2008 - 8:41 PMIf you like steam punk, you will probably like the "Girl Genius" series by Phil Foglio;
www.amazon.com/Girl-Geniu.../ref=sr_1_2
This is a graphic novel series set in a seriously warped 19th Century Europe, which is in large part populated by "clanks" (robots), "constructs" (androids) and "revenants" (artificial zombies), where "sparks" (mad scientists) fight with each other for power. It's pretty amazing. There have so far been seven volumes, with no end in sight.
