Very cool scanning through the 1958 catalog.  I had forgotten that they had that “analog computer” as a kit, even back that far.  Consider this, though.  If you get one of those musical birthday cards in the mail, open it up, enjoy the message (maybe even a personal message added), then toss it in the trash can at some point.  When you do that, you have thrown away a bunch more computing power than that Heath analog computer had!  In fact, I read once that such an act effectively tosses away more computing power than what existed in the late 40’s!
