Researchers resurrect 'The Witch,' world's oldest working computer


Researchers at the National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) in the UK have restored a massive, 1950s-era computer known as "The Witch," making it the world's oldest working digital computer. As BBC News reports, the machine was first activated in the 1950s, when scientists used it as part of Britain's atomic research initiative, but It wasn't long before the 2.5-tonne Witch was eclipsed by smaller, faster technology.
