She said something about Mark I being the first such computer in the United States, but I think the gist is true anyway, that people employed at least in the practical aspects of computing at that time were learning a lot as they went along.
- laumars 13y agoOh totally. And each computer was significantly different so while some knowledge was transferable, a lot may not have been. Sorry if it came across as if I was undermining Graces achievements. I really didn't mean it that way at all. I was just enquiring about the classifications of early 'computers' and which came first as computers back then differed quite substantially from now and even from each other, so you get several different machines that claim to be the 'first' for various different reasons.
