Abstract
This article provides a firsthand perspective on the use of ENIAC as a problem solver during its 10 years of successful operation as a working computer from November 1945 until October 1955. It provides a view of ENIAC's place in history as well as information covering the people, the operation, the reliability, and aspects of the problem-preparation process. An appendix covers the complete range of problems handled by ENIAC.Keywords
