ABC, the Atanasoff Berry Computer. A desk sized special purpose machine designed to solve systems of simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables. Completed in 1942 but never significantly used as designers almost immediately moved on to war work. Machine was scraped during war when university needed more classroom space and it was found a bit too wide to fit through door. Only left today is one of two capacitor memory drums.
A recreation of ABC has been done and it works perfectly. The recreation was made a bit smaller so it fits through doors.

Why computer is called a reliable machine?
I have never heard anyone call it that, but it is about as reliable as any other electronic device. Each computer generation has improved the reliability over the preceding generation, as have other electronic devices produced in the same time period.
What is the fulform of ENIAC?
Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was the first general-purpose electronic computer.
Did second generation computer was electrical or mechanical?
Second generation computers used electronic transistors. A small number used magnetic amplifiers.
How is the electronic computer different from the first computer?
Electronic computer is may faster and smaller than the first developed computer. Electronic computers today uses small electronic devices and integrated circuits. Long time ago they use vacuum tubes which are huge.
What is a first generation computer?
History of computer is divided into 5 generation. The first generation of computer started form 1941 till 1956. In this generation vacuum tubes are used in computers and computers are big enough that one computer could be such big as a whole room.
Who invended the first computer?
Charles Babbage invented the first electronic computer
What could the first electronic computer do?
what could the first ever computer actually do?
