ENIAC cost the Army $500,000

UNIVAC cost the census bureau $250,000 because that is what the contract said. However Remington Rand calculated that to make a profit the machines should really sell for $2,500,000 so prices for UNIVAC rose rapidly after that on later units.

Here is another amusing question that does have a rational answer. Keyboarding has 2 references nowadays; the first being typing with an alpha-numeric keyboard or typewriter, and the second of playing a piano, organ, or electronic "keyboard". Believe it or not, the musical keyboarding came around first, and the "keys" are similar in operation on most instruments from trumpets and trombones, to holes on flutes, and even peg-type keys on Accordions. The keys on a piano (from left to right) represent notes and octives from low to high, and correspond to the notes in the musical scale from A to G. The other keyboarding (typing) started in form with the invention of the Printing Press in the 1600's. Manual typewriters came some time later (with the keyboard layout of letters that we are accustomed to now). Additionally, there was another simple form of mono-keyboarding in electronic for with the advent of the telegraph (developed by Samuel Morse ... Morse Code...) wherein a series of dots and dashes created letters, which spelled out words, which then composed a "telegram" to someone. There is another niche of keyboarding, which involves a courtroom recorder using a stenography machine. This machine has less characters than a standard keyboard, and involves a system of shorthand in conjunction with fewer keys. A good example of shorthand is the use of abbreviations, such as Mfr stands for manufacturer.

Babbage died "of renal inadequacy, secondary to cystitis." according to his autopsy report.

In other words, a urinary tract infection that caused kidney failure.

Wedges are easier to walk in than regular heals. Wedges are often the preferred choice of high shoes when having to walk significant distance.

The very first Apple computer logo was created by Ronald Wayne. The current and iconic Apple logo was created by Rob Janoff in 1998. It has evolved from the rainbow apple then to the sleek silhouette apple that we know today.

The Z1 was the first machine to be called a modern computer. It was also one of the only ones that actually functioned during the time of its creation.

The first computer used for calculation is highly dependent on what you consider a computer to be. In many views, the first computer used for calculations was the abacus which dates back to 2400 BC.

Atanasoff's Computer was nearly completed in 1942 before Atanasoff and his assistant were drafted. This Atanasoff was the first to think of using base 2 (or binary) in his mechanical computation and incorporated that into his computer. However, a friend of Atanasoff's is believed to have visited while the computer was still in production and later used the knowledge gained from that visit while helping to build ENIAC a few years later.

Data is recorded onto a CD in a clockwise spiral from the center. Its recorded and read in a series of lands and pits. Any land that the laser hits is reflected to the read head and is recorded as a 1 or a 0. They are counted in groups of 14 and then converted into standard 8-digit data.

A CD is built from a plastic (polycarbonate) substrate and a fine, reflective metallic film (24-carat gold or a silver alloy). The reflective layer is then covered with an anti-UV acrylic finish, creating a protective surface for data. Finally, an additional layer may be added so that data can be written on the other side of the CD as well.

The reflective layer contains tiny bumps. When the laser passes over the polycarbonate substrate, light is reflected off the reflective surface, but when the laser reaches a bump, that's what allows it to encode information.

This information is stored in 22188 tracks engraved in grooves (though it's actually just one track spiralling inward).

Commercially purchased CDs have already been pressed, meaning that the bumps have been created used plastic injected into a mold which contains the desired pattern in reverse. A metallic layer is then affixed onto the polycarbonate substrate, and this layer is itself covered with a protective coating.

Microsoft early start began in Albuquerque, NM in March 1975. Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond, Washington, 13 miles from Seattle.

Second generation computers are often called transistorized computers. The transistorized computers are more advanced computers than the first generation of computers.

QWERTY was simply laid out to reduce probability of hammer clashes.

Dvorak was laid out to put most frequently used letters on keys under strongest fingers.
