[GreenKeys] First Electronic Computer

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Group,

This may be a little off topic but the I/O devices were almost certainly TTY 
machines.  My old boss asked me recently what was the generally accepted 
"first electronic computer" and who is credited with building or designing 
it.  Anyone know?  I'm sure that the early electro-mechanical calculators 
don't qualify.  From what I recall, they were just motor driven versions of 
the hand cranked ones.  I started to say the ENIAC or the ENIGMA machines 
(Bombe's) but can't the books I am supposed to have on the latter.

Regards,
