Upcoming Birthday
Don't forget that Thursday marks the 40th birthday of Herman Hollerith, who implemented the first punched cards for tabulating data. The concept was, of course, important in the development of computers.

Herman (born 29 Feb 1860, died 17 Nov 1929) has been dead for quite some time, but like that fellow in The Pirates of Penzance, remains youthful in terms of birthdays.

(Yes, it's been 164 years, but he missed a birthday back in 1900, which wasn't a leap year.) WHPratt (talk) 18:31, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
