[Coco] [OT] Analog computer from Radio Shack

[Leon Howell]

Beleive it or not, the first home computer was sold in 1957! It was analog, 
sold by heathkit. I saw a picture of it in one of their 1980's catalogs. It 
had a bunch of dials and gages if I remember right, and looked like it would 
probably fill an average sized table.

I wonder what you would compare something like that to in terms of digital 
processing power? How would you compare analog to digital?

I have no doubt the CoCo 1 could handle anything even the big analog computers 
could do. It would be very interesting to see a CoCo 3 graphical simulation of 
an analog computer. (An emulator, even?) Not that useful of course, but still 
fun!
