Jose Canseco making his John Connor transition I see..

That original ENIAC was about 10000x less powerful than a 
pocket calculator, but it all had to start somewhere. Actually 
Charles Babbage had it all down for in the 19th century conceptually
using mechanical difference and analytical engines, except for a 
couple issues - concept of entropy had not been understood yet,
and they had major trouble making the gears he wanted to his 
extremely precise specs. Recommend "The Difference Engine" by 
Gibson & Sterling, cool alt-history book, more or less kicked 
off steampunk (but don't judge it by that distinction alone)
