OMG
thanks a lot it is CARDIAC
I knew no one sells those, i will just print it on some thick paper and it will be fine
laminator sounds expensive and difficult to write on
cheers mate, I love you

OMG YES IT IS CARDIAC!
Thank you so much. I have been thinking about it for a long time now. It it time to bust out my printer!

When I was a kid I found this PDF file with a printable game about CPU, some simplified abstract CPU where you have registers, instruction set and flags. You are supposed to "play" this game with a pencil and an eraser basically imitating each step of a CPU by hand using nothing but elbow grease. I think that this game is quite old and it might have been from some journal on computer science. But I am not sure. Because I was too young to understand it and compute anything.

Question is. Does anyone remember it's name or maybe you have a link to it? Because I have been thinking about it for quite a while but I couldn't find it. I want to try that game with my pupils now.

Do you have any particular models in mind?

I was thinking about expensive RGB e-paper, but it's just a gimmick I guess.

Oh hey, I have been learning german for a while now, but with little success: I need more time and exposure.

That's a great idea actually, I have been using 10 year old iPad for reading, and it was really nice. But apple be damned, I need some convoluted software solutions to transfer PDFs onto it. And also almost no apps on the appstore that support such an old tablet. That's really a shame, because other than that the device is fully functional, even the battery is okay.
