Abstract
I discuss some aspects of the use of computers in Relativity, Astrophysics and Cosmology. For each section I provide two examples representative of the field, including gravitational collapse, black hole imagery, supernovae explosions, star-black hole tidal interactions, N-body cosmological simulations and detection of cosmic topology.
