Palagius

It is possible this was implemented elsewhere and I failed to notice it, but I did this as an exercise as exploring OpenComputers.  My son and I play The 1.7.10 Pack for our sandbox fun (in survival mode though), and I wanted to see if I could easily use OpenComputers to replace the typical-and-complex nest of level emitters and crafting cards to maintain minimum amounts of certain items in the AE2 ME network.
This is not terribly sophisticated, and is just "fire-and-forget" with respects to requesting the crafting operations from the ME Network.  As I continue to dabble I may add in checking on the status of the requested jobs and bound the looping to when all requested jobs per loop-pass have been completed.
Edited to include versions (Minecraft 1.7.10) and remove a couple of potentially confusing commented-out lines:
OpenComputers 1.6.2.12 AE2 rv3 beta6 Lots of other stuff outside the scope of this program Here is what I wrote:
