Actually, the first analogue computer was the abacus, and you can still 
buy those. My father used to carry a miniature one around in his pocket 
-- a great sight gag. "Well, let me get my calculator ..." (No wonder I 
have a warped sense of humour.) So there you go -- you can carry one on 
your person and say "I have a pocket computer!"
