According to the 1961 BRL report, Whirlwind II was a totally different computer from the AN/FSQ-7. -- RTC 23:37, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

The external link supplied does not say that the AN/FSQ-7 was Whirlwind II, it says that Whirlwind II (at Cambridge at the time) was used as a proof of concept test for the proposed SAGE system!!! -- RTC 23:48, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

The statement "The fifty-two AN/FSQ-7s remain the largest computers ever built, and will likely hold that record in the future." Seems strange, for example the Earth Simulator are of a similar scale and as i understand uses 6 MW power. Even if it should be the biggest it seams speculative to assume that it will remain that way. Are ther any sourses? 82.209.130.109 (talk) 09:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
