ENIAC co-inventor busts some ENIAC myths [www.computerworld.com]
60th anniversary of ENIAC - Great interview with one of the co-inventors Presper Eckert.
I had the privilege of seeing UNIVAC when I was at the Melbourne University Computer Science Department (gotta love that they're sticking with their mu.oz.au domain :) Apparently they powered it up sometimes and it worked, but due to lack of spare tubes they didn't do it very often.

Univac?
Don't you mean Csirac? It's now at the Melbourne Museum but it will never fire up again is my guess. I don't think it has had power applied for about 15 years now.
