[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] 1954

[Michael Alexander]

Oh!  From the title of the email, the date was 1954.  That was slightly less than four years after the commissioning of the US’s first stored program computer (SEAC - 1950) and the first commercial computer UNIVAC I -1951).  It’s hardly surprising that RAND’s ‘personal’ computer looked like the general purpose computers of that day; that’s all that people knew, then.

What’s the date of this RAND photo and the press release?  How does it compare to the date when integrated circuits were invented?
