"The Kitchen Computer. This computer was marketed for the wealthy and savvy housewife. It appeared on the cover of a Neiman-Marcus catalog in 1965. Basically, you could program recipes into the computer and it would store them for you."

"However, it was $10,000 in 1965, and you needed about two weeks' worth of programming to operate it. So, with the purchase, you received some built-in recipes, two weeks' worth of programming, a cookbook, and an apron."
