Scientist George Stibitz designed this calculator In 1940, Stibitz demonstrated the CNC at an American Mathematical Society conference at Dartmouth College. The group was very impressed when Stibitz performed the calculator using a Teletype terminal connected to New York over special telephone lines. This calculator is likely to be the first example of remote access computing.]]> 2022-02-08 16:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2035965692 27prybolskyl https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2035976262 A commercial version of Alan Turing's Pilot ACE, called DEUCE the Digital Electronic Universal Computing Engine is used mostly for science and engineering problems and a few commercial applications. Over 30 were completed, including one that was delivered to Australia.]]> 2022-02-08 16:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2035976262 27prybolskyl https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2035981870 This was designed by engineer Gardner Hendrie for Computer Control Corporation (CCC).The DDP-116 is announced at the 1965 Spring Joint Computer Conference. It was the world's first commercial 16-bit minicomputer and 172 systems were sold. The basic computer cost $28,500.

Developed for Busicom, a Japanese calculator maker, the 4004 had 2250 transistors and could perform up to 90,000 operations per second in four-bit chunks. Federico Faggin led the design and Ted Hoff led the architecture.]]> 2022-02-09 16:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2038247135 27prybolskyl https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2038252491 Based around the Texas Instruments TMS 9900 microprocessor running at 3 MHz, the TI 99/4 has one of the fastest CPUs available in a home computer. The TI99/4 had a wide variety of expansion boards, with an especially popular speech synthesis system that could also be used with TI's Speak & Spell educational game. The TI 99/4 sold well and led to a series of TI follow-on machines.]]> 2022-02-09 16:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/27prybolskyl/Bookmarks/wish/2038252491
