Issac Asimov Marvels At Miniaturization

OMG A COMPUTER YOU CAN PUT IN YOUR POCKET

(via )

So this is the IBM 5100. The portable computer.

And it weighs about 50 pounds. I’d also like to point out the questionable choice in pants.

The Apple IIc. If I remember correctly, it was supposed to be portable… It does look a bit lighter than the IBM 5100, though, I’ll give them that.

“Here’s to the crazy ones.”

You will be missed, Mr. Jobs ♥

The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first commercial computer produced in the United States. It was designed principally by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the inventors of the ENIAC.

In honor of the 30th anniversary of IBM launching the “Personal Computer,” Amy-Mae Elliott compiled a gallery of the PC through the years. It’s amazing to think about how far we’ve come. As one commenter said, “I can’t even imagine life without computers now.” Did you have an old-school PC? What are your memories?
