Talk:J. Presper Eckert

Comment
In the second paragraph, it's not clear how "the conflict over widely-adopted term von Neumann architecture" influenced Eckert's decision to leave the University of Pennsylvania. Perhaps someone could explain this (I'm not aware of the story). Nethgirb 22:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)


 * This statement was inaccurate. I have removed it and clarified the controversy at the conclusion of the article, but intend to add more at a later date.  Certainly no one was using the term "von Neumann architecture" in 1946. Robert K S 16:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised that one slipped through the cracks! No wonder it wasn't categorized. . . GreenReaper 05:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
