The funny thing is its not even a spelling mistake, computor != misspelled computer. Judging by the stupidity of that mistake I'm going on the assumption that michael made it, not the submitter.
Hey smarty pants michael, the 'computor' is not a 'sic'!
He didn't mean computer, he meant COMPUTOR!
Computor is defined in the article, did you read it?
A computor "reads" from tele-tape or punch card, on which the information that it needs has been coded. The code marks are turned into electronic pulses. The pulses are held, like greyhounds in the traps, and let out, one by one, into a circuit. The position allotted to each pulse in the circuit signifies the digit it represents.
Not only that but John Carmack has previous posted his thoughts on computors right here on Slashdot, please see the following post:
