A three vacuum tube NAND gate has more computing power than a 1972 Cray, since that's the year CRI was founded, they didn't have the CRAY-1 until 1976. Energy density of lithium ion battery is around 0.8 MJ per liter, explosives used in modern grenades yield 6 to 20 times as much. Can’t resist the geek troll bait.
