<h2>The first Computers in Boise City </h2>
</center><br><br>
The history of computing in Boise began on June 30, 1957 when Remington Rand corporation
demonstated a UNIVAC computer in their office at 609 Bannock Street.  At this time the world had
only 1,100 computer installations. Later that year the Department of Highways installed a
UNIVAC 120 from Remington Rand and put it to use on engineering problems for the
department.<br><br> <center><img src="uni120.JPG"><br><br><br></center>
<center><img src="marionWhaley2.jpg"><br>
<b>Marion Whaley</b></center> in whose deparment the computer was installed is quoted
as saying: "This machine will shake engineers loose from the calculators and slide
rules and allow them to get out on the jobs."</p>
The following table lists the organizations which installed the first computers in Boise.
The people and the applications they developed are described in articles from the Idaho Statesman. </a>
