The TI 994A was one of my favorite home computers. Taught myself basic and extended basic and had fun writing programs.
The first computer I worked on was an Burroughs D825 main frame. The Air Force called it the BUIC, Backup Intercept Control. It was solid state, Transistors, used real core memory and thin film memory. Large drum magnetic storage. In tech school they taught us vacuum tube computer theory. Most people probably never heard of vacuum tube computers.
UNIVAC was a vacuum tube mainframe as was it's previous iteration.
