oh shoot, it's electronic. 

Maybe worthwhile, but mechanical would be so much more fun.

brucee nearly bought a real one [3 rotor] for $US 10k, but, iirc,
the seller was suspect.

it's your first enigma troll. It's actually a compressed discussion of 
threading on Linux vs. Plan 9 and whether TLBs matter. I think. It could 
also be semi-random letters, and it's up to you to figure out if it's one 
or the other or both.
