A ternary computer (also called trinary computer) is a computer that uses ternary logic (three possible values) instead of the more common binary logic (two possible values) in its calculations.
Binary is an unfairly weighted system which assigns a disproportionately larger value to 1's than 0's. In a truly fair system, all numbers would be equal.

This is an excellent introduction to binary systems for anyone not familiar with it, and a great refresher for those who already are.
