	Analog computer - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		An analog computer (American English) or analogue computer (British English) is a form of computer using electronic or mechanical phenomena to model the problem being solved by using one kind of physical quantity to represent another.
		The term is used in distinction to digital computers, in which physical or mechanical phenomena are used to construct a finite-state machine which is then used to model the problem being solved.
		There is an intermediate group, hybrid computers, in which a digital computer is used to control and organize inputs and outputs to and from attached analogue devices; for instance analogue devices might be used to help generate initial values for iterations, or the analog computer might be used to solve a non-analytic differential equation problem.

		Agli albori dell'era informatica, un computer era considerato una specie di macchina per fare i conti superveloce, la naturale evoluzione delle calcolatrici usate durante la seconda guerra mondiale.
		Con il Progetto MAC del MIT, cominciò a studiare gli effetti dell'impiego dei computer su vasta scala: anche se non era possibile affidare una macchina a chiunque, dato il costo, si potevano comunque installare terminali interattivi, che grazie al time-sharing consentivano a molti utenti in contemporanea l'accesso alle risorse del computer centrale.
		Dopo aver letto alcuni suoi scritti pubblicati nel 1963, Licklider cominciò a finanziare le ricerche di Engelbart, in quanto riteneva perseguissero i medesimi scopi.

		At the top of the line of computers — all of which emerged significantly faster and more dependable than vacuum tube machines — sat the 7030, also known as the "Stretch." Nine of the computers, which featured a 64-bit word and other innovations, were sold to national laboratories and other scientific users.
		The first large-scale array computer, the ILLIAC IV achieved a computation speed of 200 million instructions per second, about 300 million operations per second, and 1 billion bits per second of I/O transfer via a unique combination of parallel architecture and the overlapping or "pipe-lining" structure of its 64 processing elements.
		Reduced instruction set computers grew out of the observation that the simplest 20 percent of a computer´s instruction set does 80 percent of the work, including most base operations such as add, load from memory, and store in memory.

	Colorado Computer Museum - Backgrounder
		Colorado Computer Museum is a 501(c)(3) publicly supported nonprofit corporation dedicated to the preservation of the history of information technology.
		One of the traits of the evolution of computing is that we have managed to remove the user farther and farther from the hardware.
		Classes in the basics of computing or the selection and use of modern systems might be a real benefit to the public (in my experience as a consultant, I have seen a real need for basic training with a practical emphasis), and the historical slant could serve to make the classes more interesting.
