Best Answer

Back when computers were invented, they did not use processors, but instead used vacuum tubes. These took up a lot of space, and weight. Also, Hard drives were extremely large and held very little. Whole rooms could be taken up for as little as 256 megabytes.

Why would a Dalmatian molly fish have bulgy eyeballs?

No Molly should have bulgy eyeballs. I would be wondering if the fish had some kind of infection/swelling behind the eyes if it happened to a fish of mine. I know of no cure for this kind of problem so I would isolate and wait and see what happened for a few days and if there's no improvement I would euthanase the fish.

Was the computer invented in 1890s?

Sorry, I made a mistake and I hope I did not case you trouble. There is a big line when we define a computer, it is not like we look at out computers today. Something making a calculation can be a computer. The first computer, which is on display, and called a computer, was invented in 1847 by Charles Babbage. This question has been answered before on wiki answers, and the page is very long depending on what class is considered a computer, so as it seems it would have to be asked by what class of computer to get the right answer.
