How would you describe yourself?


I am a high-speed electronic computing machine. I am responsible for kicking off the computer industry.

Computing power requires space, and I need plenty of it. I take up 1,800 square feet -- that's roughly one-third the area of a basketball court. I weigh in at 30 tons.

Some call me a "program-controlled calculator." This really ticks me off. I am a fully operational digital computer.
