+
+The beginning of IT in Romania.
+
+Professor V. Baltac said in the Conference "*Computers and Computer Networks in Romania between 1953-2001*", from The Romanian Academy, at 22 nov. 2001 that the years 1950 had marqued a Romanian priority in Romanian computing techniques.\
+Three computing techniques schools were then created:\
+\- Bucharest - **IFA** (Institutul de Fizica Atomica - The Athomical Physics Institute),\
+\- Timisoara - **MECIPT** (Masina Electronica de Calculat a Institutului Politehnic Timisoara - Electronical Computing Machine of the Polytechnical Institute of Timisoara),\
+\- Cluj - **DACICC** (Dispozitiv Automat de Calcul al Institutului de Calcul din Cluj - Automated Computing Dispositive of the Computing Institute of Cluj).
+
+MECIPT was a typical first generation computer.\
+It contained:\
+\- Over 2000 electronic tubes,\
+\- Tens of thousands passive components,\
+\- Words of 30 bits,\
+\- As external memory - drum equivalent of 3 kb,\
+\- Data was input into computer by punched paper tape,\
+\- As a printer was an electrical typing machine.\
+Its speed was about 50 operations/second and it was programmed in machine code.
+
+MECIPT was one of the first romanian computers... It worked for the first time... I guess around 1961-1962.
+
+Thanks to **Stefan Deli** for all this information.
