wow... and to think that something as simple today as a game of jardinains! would requite dozens of SAGE computers. a good Netbook would outperform an army of SAGE systems
Say what you will about the excesses of the Cold War arms race, but SAGE practically invented the Graphic User Interface, cornerstone of modern operating systems.
IBM was so full of itself back then. I love that big building with the huge screaming IBM initials at top and center. Even the analog clocks were emblazoned with IBM!!!
"An AN/FSQ-7 computer contained 55,000 vacuum tubes, occupied about half an acre (2,000 m²) of floor space, weighed 275 tons, and used up to three megawatts of power. The fifty-two AN/FSQ-7s remain the largest computers ever built, and will likely hold that record in the future."

This video gives me the opportunity to show my children the computer that I worked on in 1956-59.

@LaMiradaBob I imagined little kids, but they must be pretty big now. Perhaps you can show it to your grand kids.
