On this day in 1951 the first commercial computer, the Univac 1 , was shipped. The UNIVAC 1 had only 1,000 words of memory. It ran Windows 98… no, that last part may not be correct. 
According to 50′s web :
46 machines were built, for about $1 million each.
UNIVAC I came to the public’s attention in 1952, when CBS used one to predict the outcome of the presidential election. The computer correctly predicted the Eisenhower victory, but CBS did not release that information until after the election because the race was thought to be close.
