Zusammenfassung:This paper discusses the sorts of small, low-priced computers that are now available for scientific work, and that are expected to become available during this decade. The background technological developments are described briefly and projections are made of the capabilities that may be expected in desktop computers. Software questions that are especially relevant to the use of such computers are taken up. It is suggested that some software developments may lead scientists to extend the ways in which they use computers.
