I'd give the honours of 1st computer to the Zuse Z1
- a relay machine
between the Wars, I think. But some mechanical calculators at that date
were quite sophisticated. Comments, anyone??
Well, I'd give computer credit to Babage's machine, ca. 1896, IIRC. He is,
after all the one who coined the phrase "computer."
