And computers were mainframes that had very few real-time applications
where you could dynamically change the data set on the fly, and
immediately recalculate. Not to mention that their processing speed was
slower than a cheap $5 calculator you pick up at Walgreens or Wal-Mart.

I remember when the mainframe group where I worked were jealous that they
had to run a compile overnight, but the "PC" group did ours with a simple
press of the "F5" key. :-)
