Try This Brand New Analog Computer

The THAT machine is designed to encourage you to go beyond digital

Once upon a time, if you cracked open the pages of IEEE Spectrum you
could spot full-page advertisements for analog computers, boasting of
their ease of use and even--in the case of one model built into a cart
with wheels--their portability. Engineers connected potentiometers and
op-amps to set up representations of knotty differential equations and
read the solutions as varying output voltages. But then digital
computers conquered all, making analog computing as obsolete as radio
coherers, mechanical televisions, and punched cards. Almost.
