I read it last week and thought it was great. It brought to mind a talk John Mauchly gave at a personal computer convention in Philadelphia in 1976. I was in the audience and found him a pretty interesting guy. He devoted most of his talk to BINAC -- I've got an audio tape of it somewhere, I'll see it I can find it. I noted with interest the references to Electronic Control Company and Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation corporate papers. The Hagley Museum is just around the corner from me; I'll have to pay them a visit. The book's also spurred me to follow up on my family geneaology -- my grandmother was an Eckert -- maybe I'm related!! -- Tony Eros Mid-Atlantic Computer History Museum ----- Original Message ----- From: Rodrigo Ventura <yoda(a)isr.ist.utl.pt> To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> Sent: Thursday, September 30, 1999 3:13 PM Subject: ENIAC book
