Computer History IBM's FIRST PERSONAL COMPUTER?? The IBM 610 AUTO-POINT (Auto Point) 1957

Computer History IBM: A Rare look at IBM 610 Auto-Point Computer of 1957. Sometimes called “IBM’s First Personal Computer.” The IBM 610 was a general-purpose, vacuum tube computer developed for industrial & engineering applications. Originally called the "Personal Automatic Computer," designed in 1948, and called “Auto-Point” because it allowed automatic handling of the decimal point within the memory registers. Not a "microcomputer" by any means, the 610 was actually a complex programming machine, it sold for $55,000 and weighed 1,000 pounds. A super-rare machine, only 180 were ever made. Hope you enjoy this unique look back! Produced by the Computer History Archives Project (CHAP); Narration by James Izzo.
