Geniac was an educational toy sold as a mechanical computer designed and marketed by Edmund Berkeley, with Oliver Garfield from 1955 to 1958, but with Garfield continuing without Berkeley through the 1960s.[1] The name stood for "Genius Almost-automatic Computer" [citation needed] but suggests a portmanteau of genius and ENIAC (the first fully electronic general-purpose computer).
