the cost was prohibitive for anything other than Government agencies and big business operations. the equipment was sprawling and spread out and specialized operators had to be trained, etc. keypunch was commonly used. anyhow this was big bucks stuff- not for the man in the street. there were a few (Hobby) analog computers made by various manufacturers as electronic kits but never really caught on.
