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.
