I enjoyed the article, thank you.

Shame to see two pictures of Maurice Wilkes working on EDSAC (the big picture at the top and one further down of the mercury delay lines) and no mention of his name, though.

Thank you whoever is writing these articles.

I'm fascinated by the history of computers and these articles are a great read. Like a Damn Interesting [0] for computing.

I have to keep my eye on this, I never saw that history in so much detail. Great work!
