From: Christian Liendo <christian_liendo at yahoo.com> EDSAC?was Cambridge University?s first computer. Designed in the early years after the Second World War in 1947, construction of the machine was completed in 1949. It operated for almost 10 years, and was the first general purpose computer built for other people to use, to solve real problems. The?EDSAC Replica project?aims to rebuild an authentic replica, and on Wednesday, which was the centenary of the birth of?Sir Maurice Wilkies, widely regarded as the father of British computing, they have?unveiled the first working parts?of the restored machine. http://makezine.com/2013/06/27/edsac-replica/ Arrgh, they misspelled M V Wilkes' name in the first occurrence in the text.
