What Wirt dosen't want people to know, is that he remembers Mauchley and
Eckert, when they were working in the ENIAC - here at the University of
Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering - here in BSEPA!
(Just kidding, Wirt - although if you said you knew them, I would believe
you... no one else, but you, yes :)
Cheers,
