That was the first AMERICAN computer, but the English claim to have an earlier WWII stored-program computer that was a code breaker and therefore "secret". It was called "Colossus" and has been reconstructed....
ENIAC was the first computer where the program was stored in random access memory.
if anyone is interested or as infatuated with brainerd or eniac as I am, I found that Brainerd's pocketwatch is listed on eBay. It has some kind of coding engraved in it. Too rich for my blood, but if I could afford it, it would be mine! VERY COOL.
