Like many first-generation computer-tans, Mark I-tan lived all but isolated from other computers. She was terribly lonely as the only computer in Cambridge, but her spirit was buoyed when she discovered and met [[Whirlwind]]-tan, another early computer living at the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She had three children, [[Harvard Mark II]], [[Harvard Mark III|III]] and [[Harvard Mark IV|IV-tan]], though she was separated from the first two rather early in their lives and had little contact with them, something that troubled her greatly. The only child she had regular contact with was Harvard Mark IV-tan, who resided at Harvard along with her mother. | |||
