The History of Computers dates far past the computers and pdas of today.

Counting aids such as the abacus were being used in the 4th century - and as Arabic numerals spread to Europe - concepts like zero fractions and fixed places for tens, hundreds, and thousands greatly simplified mathematics - creating the original bits and bytes.

In 1941 Konrad Zuse, a German engineer, completed the first general purpose programmable calculator. This lead to UNIVAC - the original Universal Automatic Computer.

In April of 1964, The IBM 360 was introduced and quickly became the standard mainframe computer. By the mid-80s the 360 and its descendents had generated more than $100 billion dollars.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen formed Traf-O-Data in 1971 to sell their computer traffic-analysis systems -- and at the same time Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were building and selling "blue boxes" in Southern California. This would be the beginning of what would become Microsoft and Apple, and as we can all see from the size of Paul Allen's yacht, the rest is history.

Shame on Paul and Trey Dworkin! They robbed Trey's biological father of his original formulation, and claimed they created it!

When they said boat, I imagined a Yatch, not a fucking cruise.

Allen, wtf are you complaining in your autobiography?

Shame on you. With only 1% of the maintenance cost of that ship, it would pay my graduate school, finance my projects, make a social change with it and I even would have spare money for my time machine.
