User talk:B Pete

Hi B Pete. No one else as yet has welcomed you to Wikipedia so I do. Thank you for fixing the wikilink 'analog' in my edit of Telectronics. I'm 73 yo & struggling most times with wiki formatting. You are a young fellow with the computer skills of your generation. If you have the time available I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist me now & then -- particularly with properly formatting references. All the bestGeoffrey Wickham 02:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Herman Hollerith
Hollerith's tabulator is specificlaly described as an analog computer in this Britannica article. . An analog computer, to be brief, uses physical means with which to store data (exactly what Hollerith's tabulator did. A digital computer stores and retrieves information electronically.

 * I did not see Hollerith's tabulator specificly mentioned in the article. Did I miss it?  The difference between an analog computer and a digital computer is the way data is represented: as an analog (continuousy variable) signal or a digital (on or off -or- 0 or 1) signal.  Analog computers can be either mechanical or electronic, as can digital computers.  I would classify the tabulator as a mechanical digital device, as it tabulates the presence or absence of punched holes, which is digital data. B Pete 21:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
