NEXT computer was Steve Jobs' brainchild.

In the March, 1974, issue of QST magazine there appeared the first advertisement for a "personal computer." It was called the Scelbi (SCientific, ELectronic and BIological) and designed by the Scelbi Computer Consulting Company of Milford, Connecticut. Based on Intel's 8008 microprocessor, Scelbi sold for $565 and came with 1K of programmable memory, with an additional 15K of memory available for $2760. The second "personal computer kit" was the Mark-8 (also Intel 8008 based) designed by Jonathan Titus.\n--------------------------\nIn 1977, Radio Shack introduced its TRS-80 microcomputer, also nicknamed the "Trash-80". It was based on the Zilog Z80 processor (an 8-bit microprocessor whose instruction set is a superset of the Intel 8080)\n-----------------------------\nPersonal note... I was among the first users of the TRS-80, using it with my ham radio hobby for generation and decoding Morse code and radio teletype.

who invented computer

Lots of stuff:\n\nColossus, the world's first totally electronic and digital computer was built\n\nFirst supersonic flight by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947\n\nENIAC invented (another computer)\n\nQuantum electrodynamics developed by Feynman, Dyson, Schwinger, and Tomonaga\n\nMathematics: cybernetics, game theory, cryptology were devised\n\nWorld War II ended in 1945\n\nUnited Nations established in 1945\n\nNATO founded in 1949\n\nThe Chinese Civil War ended\n\nThe Marshall Plan was implemented by the United States, giving billions of dollars in aid to reconstruct the war-devastated economies of Europe\n\nInternational Monetary Fund (IMF) was formed (debatable whether that's a good thing :>)\n\nWorld Bank was formed (same again)\n\nFrank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" was released (great movie)\n\nThe NBA was formed\n\nRock and roll and Rhythm and blues emerged, thus forming the genesis of all modern 'popular' music

what kind of computer do you have and what year is it?

Bill W Gates\n- aka mr. windows !

In the 1940's with ENIAC.  It was one of the first "high-speed" computational devices and is considered the first major milestone in the development of digital computers.  It was used mainly by the U.S. military during WWII for artillery trajectory calculations.\n\nHowever things really took off after the development of the silicon transistor (1954), which are still in use today.

Back in the '90s! Where it belongs!

Any computer that is out of date would be considered this.\n\n\nThis will exist every year as new technology comes along and makes what we now have obsolete or what some consider a dark age computer.\n\nA dark age computer might still serve your needs.

Still Bill Gates\nhttp://www.forbes.com/2004/02/25/bill04land.html\n\nAnd, no, he didn't invent the computer.

Blue Gene, made by IBM. \nit is capable of running at 280 teraflops.  \nthat is like, almost, 100,000 times more powerful than your average car.

Mr Bill Gates. Thanks to him, we have modern desk tops Microsoft computers. Many now have them in their homes, and they are now as common-place as Biro pens.

The Mark I was the first super-computer. It was invented in 1944.\n\nThe MARK series of computers began with the Mark I in 1944. Imagine a giant roomful of noisy, clicking metal parts, 55 feet long and 8 feet high. The 5-ton device contained almost 760,000 separate pieces. Used by the US Navy for gunnery and ballistic calculations, the Mark I was in operation until 1959.

what computer?\nwho is talking about?

The first "computer" :)  was discover in 1938 by John Atanasov (lived in the USA, but bulgarian :) )

Now come on, I remember the computer world when everything was based on vacuum tubes, before transistors & microchips.\nI can still remember HP Basic, Fortran, Cobol, Compiler, et al.\nWin 3.1 was actually a great program in it's time.\nIt, and the other stuff MS developed to run with it, made Bill Gates the richest man in the world.\nIt couldn't have been as bad as some seem to remember.
