The only problem with these computers is they have to write their own language to use them since their entire makeup (use of binary code) is different from standard machines.

I think they’re hand assembling code at this stage of the game :-) ... anything higher level than the equivalent of “set this bank of switches and push a button to load” is still a few years away.

Ok, that might be a bit *too* low level, but I’d be surprised if they actually compile programs for this machine :-) .

That being said, programmers better learn how to think parallel :-).
