Featured Links -- Trinary Computing

Computers, electronics, and even morse code, all based on a two-state system -- a binary system. Digital electornics have always used the notion of on-and-off, zero-or-one, to form, store and communicate information. This is the expected, normal, orthodox way to do things ...
