But, hey, you could draw a schematic for the whole computer 
on the back of a napkin. 

I've still got one somewhere around here, that I expanded to 
an incredible 32k memory, and added a tiny 4" crt and a homemade
video card using a 6845. With _tiny basic_ (gasp!)

I think it could do 1000 instructions per second. 
Or maybe that was per minute....
