Gary Lewis Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Nice truck, Jim! Glad you joined. However, I'm curious why you entitled your intro "How Did You Find Us?" Not that doing so is a problem, it is just curious. But, then, how did you find us? Where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city/state or zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vjsimone Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 So, who's gonna tell us their experience with the Eniac? ;) ENIAC ? When I was a young child, my dad would send me up to the shop that had a tube tester and I tested the TV tubes when our box was on the blink. I didn’t know you were a computer guy; I knew Gary was and I’ve stumbled across some others out here, reading chatter about programing, IBM XXX, Fortran, Hollerith cards, etc. Well, on my summer vacation the Army wanted to teach me to become artillery computer repairman. This landed me @ Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland for training. Wouldn’t you know it, there was piece of the ENIAC in the museum there. So, the computer that I was to learn was called the FADAC, Field Artillery Digital Automatic Computer. 200lbs and about the size of a card table, late 50’s technologies, but not fielded until the mid-60’s. The FADAC was a child of the ENIAC, where it also did artillery firing data, for a few weapons of the day, it was all the rage back then. On another summer vacation, the Army wanted me to learn another computer system, TACFIRE, it was a fire direction center. Well, this took me to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, where there was another piece of the ENIAC saved. I read; there are pieces of the ENIAC at the University of Pennsylvania and the Smithsonian as well. I once took a course; “Intro to Computers”, in the first chapter of whatever book we were using, was the history of the ENIAC. This concludes my experience with the “Eniac” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
