Michelle,
The silly thing about the Colossus II vs. ENIAC debate on which one was
first is that they were both beat a few years earlier by Konrad Zuse, a
German inventor working alone during WWII.
Please check here for references:

http://hjs.geol.uib.no/zuse/zusez1z3.htm
http://www.epemag.com/zuse/
All three are excellent resources on Zuse's amazing work.
I hope you will print a follow-up to your October 3rd article that truly
sets the records straight, because this is something that needs to be
known for such an important topic.
