Nope here is the truth:
The ABC computer was before eniac there was even court decision that
the abc computer was first and the mother of all modern Personal Computers

The Atanasoff-Berry Computer the First Electronic Computer - John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry

--- Quote ---Professor John Atanasoff and graduate student Clifford Berry built the world's first electronic-digital computer at Iowa State University between 1939 and 1942. The Atanasoff-Berry Computer represented several innovations in computing, including a binary system of arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative memory, and a separation of memory and computing functions

About John Atanasov.
John Atanasov (who was a bulgarian in origin, living in USA). He, along with Clifford Berry invented the first electric computer, where "electric" i mean it was assembled from electronical parts, instead of mechanical. Thus the first "real" computer in the world was invented.
Their computer wasn't like the the ones we have in our homes, in the terms of power, performance and flexibility.
But the arhitecture of their computer was absolutely the same - John Von Neumann's, which stated that instructions had to be fed in on an a static source (like the modern memory storages, instead of paper tape, or by rearranging hundreds of removable plug wires into a special pattern on a panel, like an old telephone switchboard). Von Neumann also recommended replacing the decimal number system with binary inside the computer, which is particularly suited to the computer as it can be represented easily using electrical charge.
I suppose every computers-interrested person should know these facts...:thumbup:

history is written by the winners/those in power...who really knows?
Tesla v Marconi for instance...
Some day, all of this might even matter, but for today, MS made virus propegation possible.
