Everyone will want one of these! I used one of these computers in college.
For those under the age of 50: to start up this gem, first introduced in the 1970's, you turn on the power and manually type in the 16 (or so) instructions that tell the machine to load the OS (operating system), using the toggle switches on the front. Yes, we were entering binary manually: it had no keyboard (or mouse) -- this part, plus a disk, is the whole machine. [You could attach a terminal.] It took a few minutes to get that sequence right. Experienced users could do it in 20 seconds.
