A very interesting article.

Of course I'd love to see something on the *real* fathers of computing. Maurice Wilkes, John Pinkerton and John Simmons deserve to have the story of LEO told.

Unlike the IBM guys that Rupert describes, they really were innovating in both technology AND its application.
