Matt, re your recent edit comment. Colossus was not stored program in the von Neuman sense, but was programmable (rather like Eniac, if I follow correctly -- lots of plugs and plugboards). It is in part he programmable bit which contributes to its priority of place in the history of computing. The article Colossus (and talk page) has hashed this out at some length. Hope that helps.
I just noticed that I should have added that Colossus was not the world's first digital computer. It was the first digital, programmable, electronic computer. ww 21:35, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Sure, I've ammended the description to be in line with the Colossus article. — Matt 21:55, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
A quick Google search shows plenty of pictures of Tommy Flowers but I am not sure how to add it to the page. Also, I am not sure about copyright issues when doing this. Can somebody assist?
