  Geniac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geniac was an educational toy billed as a "computer" designed and marketed by Edmund Berkeley from 1955 through the sixties.
Basically a rotary switch construction set, the Geniac contained six perforated hardboard wheels, into which brass jumpers could be inserted.
A similar product, called Brainiac was introduced later; it was essentially a reduced-cost version of the Geniac with provision for only three rotary switches.

Below the provocative headline was a picture of the Geniac with its sloping panel bedecked with six large dials and a row of ten bulbs.
The Geniac was "semiautomatic," as the manual put it: You had to turn the dials by hand to light the lights.

Geniac LP This album has been a long time coming, having been hinted at and teased over the last 2 years but unfortunately it doesn’t quite live up to the hype built around it by the label, Scenario Records.
Music wise, ‘Geniac’ covers a lot of ground from upbeat, funky outings to downtempo instrumental numbers, reggae and out there hip hop.
And to be honest, the skits on ‘Geniac’ just aren’t up to par and really just end up annoying you more than anything.
