Ah, the Z1 was just a mechanical calculator.  The Colossus machines were true computers.

AFAIK Colossus Mark I was electro-mechanical, but Colossus Mark II built in 1944 was entirely electronic...

(I heard of Colossus Mark I being electomechanical in a TV science program describing war of spies in WWII)

(Anyone has different infos about Colossus MKI? And the way it was built?)

But sure Colossus Mark II could be considered the first Totally Electronic Computer in History.  ;001

Quote from: "Aurora Borealis"The problem with Wikipedia and it's (lack?) of credibility is that anyone can edit it. That is a great asset, yet a major liability at the same time since some of the information may be inaccurate.

Checking out the sources sited on the article is a good idea though, and using only information that has been cited. Wikipedia is a good site, but you need to proceed with some caution.
I just had a chat with Wikipedia-tan (She's very cross with you guys, BTW) and she said that a normal Encyclopaedia has an average of 2 errors per page. (Because of being out of date, etc.) Wiki-tan only has 3 errors per page.

This doesn't make sense what you're saying here.

I think she's trying to say they're pretty close

EDIT EDIT: That should have gone in a different thread

Oooh, methinks SCOPE-sama is beginning to seem like a mad scientist type. >:3

stewartsage

Perhaps more of a disgruntled scientist ;)
