My "miracle gadget" was that old TRS-80 from 1979. Mainframe users considered it a toy and now there are no main frames left, only server packs.
The first computer I used was the Rand 6 story, vacuum tube, "super computer" in 1943 to spin out artillery tables with far less memory than my Kindle HD 7 32 Gb eReader due by the end of October.
