Ever watch any old reruns of "Wonder Woman".  Lots of blinkin' lights;
no computer.  Or you could watch old "The Outer Limits" episodes where
clicking of relays and beeps and boops seems to accompany real computers.

Or you could just get a floor-standing vacuum-column tape drive and spin 
the reels back and forth...
