DEMONSTRATIONS OF COMPUTING POWER
To make sure that the ENIAC gave the correct answers, two women were employed to work out a problem, using desk calculators, over a year's time. ENIAC solved the problem in an hour. At its dedication ceremony, it computed an artillery shell's trajectory in 20 seconds. It took the shell 30 seconds to reach the target in real life.
