Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Introducing Computers (1966) ? F. J. M. Laver (HMSO) Offered by Crappy Old Books Step back into the days when computers filled entire rooms, hummed ominously, and were spoken of in hushed, reverent tones. In Introducing Computers (1966), F. J. M. Laver explains the mysterious new world of electronic brains to a mid-60s audience still more familiar with slide rules than silicon chips.
