Subject: [TUHS] The birth of the Z3
Date: Sat, 12 May 2018 08:21:13 +1000 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.999.1805120810571.79090@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
Way back on this day in 1941, Conrad Zuse unveiled the Z3; it was the
first programmable automatic computer as we know it (Colossus 1 was not
general-purpose). The last news I heard about the Z3 was that she was
destroyed in an air-raid...
This pretty much started computing, as we know it.
