Invention of the Computer

[JAW959]

One thing I remember is that a guy named Charles Babbage was involved in the early days of computer development, and people would make fun of him by saying "Babbage rhymes with cabbage!"

Wiki can be changed by anyone.

Although the information is right 90% of the time, I'm not willing to take a chance.

Might I ask why?

Bill Gates didn't make windows.  He bought it and made it better.

Steve Jobs built the first MAC in his garage, the tower being made out of wood.

ENIAC was one of the first electronic computers. It was developed at the University of Philadelphia for the US military in 1946 and used to run calculations for the atomic bomb, artillery, weather, and some other random stuff. Several of it's panels are housed in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania, which I walked past once but didn't go in because I had other stuff to do unfortunately.

Steve Wozniak. It also wasn't a typical tower that you think of today.
