Yeah, but you're still programming an ENIAC. The interface is just more
modern. If you're so indignant you can always build a "knobs and
switches" interface to settle your neurosis.

Look what those wacky college students are up to
now:

This is fairly old. As the site says, it was done for the ENIAC 50th
anniversary. I would like to add that IMHO, even if it is similar to an
ENIAC in architecture, it is in no way an ENIAC. If someone gave
me an ENIAC-on-a-chip, I would not feel that I have anything like an
ENIAC. Consider that while the ENIAC was operated with knobs and switches,
this chip is operated by raising certain lines via a PC interface. Now,
that sounds like a math coprocessor to me :)
