Not really
computers IMHO (no flames please). These systems were
wired up with patch cables to perform specific calculations, then
rewired for the next. Although the patch cables can be considered
a form of 'stored program', it's just not the same.
Hmmm! Seems like I remember something about punched card input to tube
type computers in that era. Wouldn't that qualify?
