Another Non-Binary Computer for Nonbinary Day: On my trip to England's National Museum of Computing I got to see (and operate!) the Harwell Dekatron computer (AKA the WITCH), which has as it's basic unit of memory a "Dekatron" vacuum tube with 10 different states. The computer "counts" by the dekatrons all spinning in unison in a fascinating display. 💻 :heart_nb:
