Warlock and Demon. Someone should make replicas of those two for its namesake alone. This was a great video. Had to pause at just about every image to soak in the adventure.

Surely I'm not the only one to notice Seymour Cray's name on this list at 3:23.

Where would BINAC fit in ?

[@ComputerHistoryArchivesProject]

Hi Scott, excellent question. The BINAC was made by the Eckert Mauchly Computer Company before they became part of Remington Rand. BINAC was running in 1949. Not produced by the ERA team. Here's a short video we did on the BINAC that might help answer your question. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Wthoqbo7V-atk Thanks! ~ Victor, at CHAP

The BOMARC computer sounds like a separate and interesting topic in itself

[@ComputerHistoryArchivesProject]

Hi Scott, yes, BOMARC is quite a story in itself. There is a short video on BOMARC we uploaded a few years back, you might like it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6PTioukZ7ergrM Thanks for your feedback too. ~ Vincent, at CHAP
