Plus can you imagine all of the trees they would waste if all the companies had them instead of these servers? We waste alot of paper now, with th cards, I can't imagine.

WOM...CSIRAC was built 54 years ago [1949] and was the 5th electronic storage computer ever developed...originally called the 'CSIR Mk1'.
It was turned off in 1964, but unlike any of the others, it was not broken up for scrap but is still complete and 'could' be turned on again..
OK, so an 8086 XT with a serious head-cold could run rings around it, but its historical significance to all computer nerds makes it a 'must' to see if you ever get the chance...

Thats probably why I hadn't heard of it. It went out of service the year before I graduated high school. That old card reader(UNIVAC 1005) was the first hugh computer I ever programed for. It was still used in the 70's by the government.
