Kitchen Computer

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Kitchen Computer
An early 16-bit minicomputer from Honeywell that was marketed to housewives as a tool to store and retrieve recipes. In 1969, the Neiman Marcus catalog featured the machine for the bargain price of $10,600. With 16KB of memory and a CPU speed of 0.6 MHz, there is no proof that any units were ever sold. You can, however, see one on display at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. See Computer History Museum.

To modern Americans, the constant physical tune-ups required by the room-sized UNIVAC--its 5,000 vacuum tubes burned out one at a time and had to be replaced constantly--and the weeks of binary lessons for the Kitchen Computer seem ridiculously laborious, especially for such a small amount of computing power.
