Truce?
What? This list finally has a good thread about computing history and
you want to stop!? (Yes, I do have to get other things done, too.) ENIAC's accomplishment was to achieve electronic
speed computation. At
the same time it achieved that, it exposed it's own shortcoming: the
programming bottleneck
I agree, not like the ABC .... oh darn it, I still keep forgetting, the
ABC * didn't have * a program to slow it down. ;)
Goodnight.
