If I've done the math correctly, a single 955 acorn tube runs almost a watt for the heater alone, and then around 3/4 of a watt for the anode current.

Could it be that no one built small fast tube computers because their busbars would have melted down in sparkling, coruscating displays of incandescent brilliance ?
