MANIAC

    (MANIAC, Or "Mathematical Analyzer, Numerator,
   Integrator, and Computer") An early computer, built for the Los
   Alamos Scientific Laboratory.  MANIAC began operation in March
   1952.  Typical of early computers, it ran its own propriatery
   language.  It was succeeded by MANIAC II in 1957.  A MANIAC
   III was built at the University of Chicago in 1964.

   Contrary to legend, MANIAC did not run MAD (Michigan Algorithm
   Decoder), which was not invented until 1959.
