The Programma 101 was the first commercial "desktop personal computer",
produced by the Italian company Olivetti and invented by the Italian engineer Pier Giorgio
Perotto, inventor of the magnetic card system. The project started in 1962. It was launched
at the 1964 New York World's Fair, and volume production began in 1965, the computer
retailing for $3,200.
NASA bought at least ten Programma
101s and used them for the calculations for the
1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing. Then ABC1
used the Programma 101 to predict the
presidential election of 1969, and the U.S.
military used the machine to plan their
operations

in

the

Vietnam

War.

The

Programma 101 was also used in schools,

hospitals, government offices. This marked the
Figure 1. Programma 101, the first personal computer

beginning of the era of the personal computer.

In 1968, Hewlett-Packard was ordered to pay about $900,000 in royalties to Olivetti

after their Hewlett-Packard 9100A was ruled to have copied some of the solutions
adopted in the Programma 101, including the magnetic card, the architecture and other
similar components.
