Comment Burroughs 5000 and Bendix G15 (Score 1) 523

The Burroughs was my first computer. The Bendix was my second. Both are very weird computer into today's world. The Burroughs only had floating point hardware, no integer hardware. See https://www.cs.uaf.edu/2010/fa... for details. The Bendix had no memory, it only had registers and a drum. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for details.
