Somebody asked for a picture of the first computer.

On http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/17/creeper-the-first-computer-virus-is-40-years-young-today/ A link sent by CodeProject. It's kind of appropriate that attempting to register on engadget to reply there is totally creepy and unusable. I don't know when the first computer was built, but almost the first computer ever designed has recently been built. Babbage wasn't the first to think of the computer, but I think he was the first to draft one that could physically be built. His name comes up much more often than the "first" designer. A bit of history on the early designers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080211082554AAnCykL Pictures of the actual Babbage computer: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Babbage+computer+picture&qpvt=Babbage+computer+picture&FORM=IGRE

And here I thought it was going to be a picture of a cave man discovering toes and fingers

I didn't think of that, but it is digital calculations. :laugh:

Thanks to both of you even if only one of you sees it. Yes, you were first. Cudos.
