tubes. The first generation of electronic computers used vacuum tubes, which generated large amounts of heat, were bulky, and were unreliable. A second generation of computers, through the late 1950s and 1960s featured boards filled with individual transistors and magnetic memory cores.

3) The player can create a maze by removing line segments on a 8x8 grid and place pieces of cheese on the tiles. When ready, a virtual mouse will be set free and will scurry around the maze in search of the cheese. The mouse would run out of energy when searching for the cheese but remember the paths it had taken for future attempts and become more proficient. A later update changed the cheese for Martini glasses and made the mouse swagger the more it drank.
