However, today’s home machine can operate at 1 billion pulses per second or faster. A、ENIAC came into being about 50 years ago.B、ENIAC was huge in size, and inconvenient to use.C、ENIAC differed from today’s home computer greatly.D、ENIAC operated at a much slower speed compared with today’s home computer.
