The more I think about the experience we had many years ago with these simple and beautiful computers, the more I think that we should recreate the same experience for our children. I think that the path is: a very easy starting point (like a BASIC REPL) and the possibility to Peek and Poke at a later stage.

A simple fpga based machine with a simple instruction set, HDMI out, and gobs more memory than used to exist. Nicer graphics say 1900x1200 with good BASIC primitives. Instant on. SD card reader. No internal storage other than ROM.
