My ‘Field Computer’ when I was in the Army in the 1980’s was the size of a Volkswagon Beetle - and it had it’s own trailer so I could haul it around!
How far we have come in such a short time. :)

I had the good fortune to view this in the National Museum in Athens. My first impression was it looked like it was made with the technology one would find in a 19th century machine shop.
