Everyone appears to be focused on the absence of the ABC in the series,
yet no one (as far as I can tell) seems concerned with the MINIMAL mention
of John von Neumann in the first show (I think he got a photo and a sentence 
or two mention -- along the lines that he came on board to the ENIAC project 
just as Eckert and Mauchley were leaving).

Surely von Neumann made "lasting contributions"?!?
