That was pretty cool. I thought the Turing machines used in WW2, credited with breaking German codes, was considered the first computer. But after reading that site, I recall my computer science history class and cannot believe I forgot that tidbit. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, they left out some biggies in my mind, The Tandy Color Computer or CoCo as we called it, TI made a bunch of early units, and how could anyone forget the Atari's. I didnt see ALgores credits for inventing the Internet! (haha)

I was thinking along the same lines JGR. The PET, Sinclair, Commodore....but then they past by so fast it was hard to follow at some point!
Very interesting.
