Everytime I see your awesome 'machines,' I wonder how long it took for you to make them. This is superb! Excellent work! V (:

Another nifty machine! Cool concept to incorperate the abacus, Dirk. You really know how to take an idea and run with it.

How do I love this? Let me count the ways!!! It's a fabulous machine, Dirk, and the coloring on the abacus is terrific! I think I might be able to figure my taxes on this machine:)

Holey #&$&&!! lol Sorry - I'm just absolutely in awe of the construction you did on this one, Dirk. Simply mind boggling. Hmmm..."Babbage". This is the second time I've heard that word. The first was in the title of a VERY cool fractal made by Mark Townsend in the UF 2 days. I'll have to Google the word - they didn't have search engines back then - lol.
