The team was headed by Prof. Zemanek.

A comparison to this day is very difficult, because modern computers are not made in one piece any more. The production is dependent on various industries, and many people are involved in the developing process at the same time. These people often work on a small single task only.
Today computer generations are judged by the microprocessor. The developing period of the microprocessor runs up to approximately two years and is equivalent to the developing period of the "Mailüfterl".
The total costs can only be estimated, because many parts were donated by various companies.
The most significant contributions:
At this time various groups were working on various projects.
The first transistor computer was produced 1955 for the US Air Force. This computer already had 800 transistors and 11.000 diodes.
Two years later, in 1957, Siemens put the first computer produced in quantity on the market. It was the Siemens 2002.
