Jeezum crow 'bot, gimme a few minutes. A person's gotta start somewhere! I've linked the page, and entered some stuff. wvbaileyWvbailey 18:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Deletion Tag

Based on the work done on the article thus far, I don't think the original deletion tag applies anymore. The article still probably needs work, but shouldn't be subject to speedy deletion. --Bfigura ^(talk) 20:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Computers and Computors

Gandy and Sieg etc. are actually using this "computor" to make a distinction, although I find it very confusing, myself. I can't remember whether a "computor" is a human-as-computer or is it a "computer"? -- i.e. the old use of the word from Turing's time ("computer" was a person who cranked numbers at a desk calculator). wvbaileyWvbailey 14:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
