My neighbor across the street was a machinist on that project.
He also worked on early radar development.
Very interesting guy.
Ok. Why are you bringing this up now?

DID YOU KNOW:
• ENIAC spanned nearly 17 metres and filled most of a 9-by-17 metre room. It could also perform 38 divisions and 357 multiplications in less than a second.
• ENIAC was noisy and emitted an incredible heat because it had 17,000 vacuum tubes — sealed glass containers conducting electrical currents.
• Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania first invented ENIAC for the U.S. army in 1945
Which made it very attractive to bugs who would populate the electronics and cause shorts.Quote:

Hence the term we use today.
My, what a classroom we have become.
