[MACEP] storage compare

[Ira Erbs]

I have two of those kits. There is actually some very good stuff on the site. I plan to use it with my HS classes as an intro to computers unit.

Very fun, Ira. It's nice to see that "The Journey Inside" is still 
around and is being updated. I used to use it with my middle school 
students. It came with a video, batteries, wires, blank chips, etc, 
as well as a large silicon wafer, which I still have.
