Say Happy Birthday to 60 year old Baby June 20, 2008

Posted by Matthew Woolums in Articles/Videos, History.

The BBC News is marking the 60th birthday of what some describe as the first modern computer. Modern in this case means it had memory into which you could load a program instead of rewiring the whole thing. I’ve always been fascinated with tech histroy, and up till now, I hadn’t heard of Baby, but Happy Birthday Baby, just the same.
