The past three years have witnessed the development and sale of a large and unanticipated number of small general purpose digital computers. These machines---the mini-computers---originally intended for real-time use in applications such as production control, now serve many diverse functions, ranging all the way from data buffers to the central processing units of small time-sharing systems. One trade journal even reports a sale to a home hobbyist claiming that initial costs are comparable, and upkeep less, than for other "recreational" equipment such as boats or sports-cars.
