Shu introduced me to this letter , which I found hilarious - and quite a bit like a certain Englishman who used to post here. Wink

Yes, Babbage was definitely one of the ur-nerds. Smile

Babbage is another example of many people working on something, but he ended up getting the designation of "the father of the computer." Just as with electricity, the telephone, the lightbulb...the work of others was crucial in this designation.
