Sets the record straight!

Anyone involved in computers should read this book! It sets the record straight on who actually invented the first electronic digital computer. Despite the ruling of a federal judge in a mammoth court case where millions were spent, people still don't undestand JV Atanasoff was first. If you like history, computers, inventions, some legal-eze and root for the underdog, you will find this book compelling. Too bad it is taking so long for everybody to understand history. All that is needed is a read of this book!
