I Belive that in 1948, the only computer was ENIAC, and it belonged to the US Government. it ran off of vaccume tubes and had an average up-time of 30 minutes at the best. it ran slowly, was difficult to use, and often broke. It sat in a Air-Conditiond room and was top secret.

There were no computers you could buy in 1941. The first consumer computer or PC went on sale in 1950 and it was the Simon which sold for $300. It was sold as a kit that you built. By 1959 they had sold a little over 400.

Hardly any. The computers closest to the ones we had today became popular in the late 70's.

Technically, zero. They were first developed and owned by institutions such as colleges and universities. The government/military was probably not far behind.
