I've seen the parts of the ENIAC that are in the Smithsonian.
It is cool, but you know, I would hate to have been a card puncher. Really. And having to wait days to get your output back in the form of a ginormous stack of paper and then spot one little bug and have to do it again and wait days. Blech.
Yeah, I'm happy with my more efficient (at least to program) speedy high-level languages and tiny computers that I can balance on my knees.
