Primodrial computers love to name themselves "(something)AC". ENIAC, EDVAC, EDSAC (yes, really), BINAC, AVIDAC, SEAC, SWAC, UNIVAC, etc. (Each sold separately). There's no mention in this ad what NORDAC stands for. Maybe it means:
-North American Defense And Cheese
-Numerical Operation Recombinant Arthropod Crumple zone.
-NOrman Rockwell Defense And C.H.U.D.
-Non-Obligatory Rogers Dandy And Crammerstien
-New Orthopedic Routine Doohickey And Computer
- Not Orville Redenbacher Deciduous Adjustible Corn
-Nash Oates REO Duran And Crosby
So what's at 372 Main Street in Watertown Massachusetts now? Let's have a look.
AHA!!! The Maranatha Christian Church! The faithful adherents of Maranathanism await the return of the mighty NORDAC, who will perform fifty thousand calculations and bring swift judgment against all who doubt The Bulb... or the other Bulb.

Electronic computers....:crickets:. Versus what other kind?
Believe it or not, the earliest computers were all mechanical. Charles Babbage is sort of the first person to build a general purpose computational device using gears and stuff. It was bonkers, but it worked. Even before there were electronic ones, there were electro-mechanical and even hydraulic computers. technically, even the Curta pocket calculator was sort of a mechanical computer, and that was designed buy a guy in a German prison camp.

"So what's at 372 Main Street in Watertown, Massachusetts now?" Well actually... If you come upstairs, above the church... you'll find that the price for a build-it-yourself computer kit has decreased from $64.95 to $59.99. http://bit.ly/1TvrWts and that the bulbs WE light are usually over the heads of K-12 students who are the primary focus of our business.
