There’s a Blue Bendix in Texas, and thanks to [Usagi Electric] it’s the oldest operating computer in North America. The Bendix G-15, a vacuum tube computer originally released in 1956 ...

Enormous dimensions, complicated military calculations, and thousands of vacuum tubes—this was the early supercomputer.

In January of 1954, supported by the military, engineers from Bell Labs built the first computer without vacuum tubes. Known as TRADIC (for TRAnsistorized DIgital Computer), the machine was a mere ...

While the first computers were mechanical and famously ran on vacuum tubes, there were other schools of thought that introduced a different kind of computer – one that ran on water. In the 1930s ...
