Tout d'abord bonne année à tous (et merci pour ton mail Jean-Pierre), mais si tu veux animer le débat faudrat trouver quelqu'un d'autre parce que sur ce coup là je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi.
I thought [computers] would be a universally applicable idea, like a book is. But I didn't think it would develop as fast as I did, because I didn't envision we'd be able to get as many parts on a chip as we finally got. The transistor came along unexpectedly. It all happened much faster than we expected. J. Presper Eckert, co-inventor of ENIAC, speaking in 1991
