A replica of EDSAC, the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator, was 
switched on at Bletchley Park on this day in 2014; EDSAC was the first 
practical general purpose stored program electronic computer (and how's that 
for hair-splitting?).

The <computerphile> youtube channel has a few videos on the EDSAC, 
including a couple specifically about this build.
