Interview with One of ENIACs Inventors

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the dave-you-like-your-eniac-better-than-me-don't-you dept.

deeptrace writes "On the 60th anniversary of the ENIAC an old family friend of 'Pres' Eckert transcribed some interviews recorded before his death. Very interesting reading. They dispel a few myths, such as the lights didn't really dim when they turned it on, and the military officers did not salute ENIAC."

    I will never understand this stupid "america vs europe" fight. I'm spanish and I've always seen americans as europeans. Hell, america founding fathers were european and all the native culture was sent (literally) to hell. America is just europa expanded to another place, there's no reason to fight "america vs europa".
