One major point should be made. The ABC Computer, named for Atanasoff and Berry who invented it at Iowa State University in 1939, was the world's first digital, electronic computer. Although it was not "general purpose" since it solved systems of equations, it was the first as was demonstrated in a court case. Here's a quote from an article about early computers. "For a variety of reasons (including Mauchly's June 1941 examination of the Atanasoff–Berry Computer, prototyped in 1939 by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry), the patent for the ENIAC, granted in 1964, was voided by the 1973 decision of the landmark federal court case Honeywell v. Sperry Rand, putting the invention of the electronic digital computer in the public domain and providing legal recognition to Atanasoff as the inventor of the electronic digital computer."
