As a summer intern back then, I worked at EMI in England. They had an ENIAC computer, the first computer to cross the Atlantic. It was the size of a large room, had almost 20,000 vacuum tubes and worked less than 50% of the time (the vacuum tubes kept burning out). It had less computing capacity than some of the toys my grandchildren play with. Regards, Norm
