 Syllabus (The S Files) "For this commandment ... is not too hard for thee.... the word is very nigh unto thee, ... that thou mayest do it." -- Deuteronomy XXX, 11, 14 CIS 132/232

Charles Babbage, 19th Century English mathematician/engineer who designed the Analytical Engine, a forerunner of the modern electronic computer.
