Sixty years ago this month, the Eniac computer was introduced. It wasn't the first computer, but is one of the most famous from that era. This year, Intel introduced the Core Duo micro processor, which is being installed in many of this years new laptops, including Apple's MacBook Pro. CNET published a really interesting comparison of what state of the art computing power is today vs. 1946. This is the comparison chart, along with a link to an equally interesting article along with some photos and videos of the ENIAC and some other old computers.
