The Original Computer
Memory was something you lost with ageAn application was for employmentA program was a TV showA cursor used profanity A keyboard was a pianoA web was a spider's homeA virus was the fluA CD was a bank account A hard drive was a long trip on the roadA mouse pad was where a mouse lived And if you had a 3 inch floppy. You just hoped nobody ever found out!?!

oohhhh, long before job applications, tv programs, and Certificate of Deposits, they assembled rooms full of women to do calculations manually for large math problems. they figured the power of such banks of women in "girl power". seriously. could you call those the first "computers"?
once I figured how many "girl power"'s were in a megaflop, and came up with these ratings:
girl, 0.616 calcs/second, or 1 girl power
ENIAC, 1623 girl power
hp49g+ (calculator), 6494 girl power
ford computerized transmission, 22,727,273 girl power
cray 1 supercomputer (obsolete), 146,103,896 girl power
xbox, 4,870,129,870 girl power
p4 3.0 ghz, 9,740,259,740 girl power
NEC Earth Simulator, 64,935,064,935,060 girl power
