<p>This data was collected from Appendix 2 of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160222082744/http://www.econ.yale.edu/~nordhaus/homepage/prog_083001a.pdf"><em>The progress of computing</em></a>, using <a href="http://tabula.technology/">Tabula</a> (a program for turning tables in pdfs into other table formats). We have not checked its accuracy beyond a graph of the resulting data looking visually similar to a graph of the original.</p>
