I, too, am concerned about the omission of JV Atanasoff and the possible connection between the omission and UNISYS sponsorship of the program. The story of Atanasoff's late night brainstorming drive to a roadhouse in Illinois and how the filing of a patent was indefinitely postponed due to war time concerns could have made interesting footage. (Iowa State alumni know about these things ;-). Otherwise, I thought the first installment was well done. -- Noel W.
