Today in Computer History - May 6, 1949:
The EDSAC ran its first program.
Cool things about the EDSAC:
- 1st computer to have sub-routines.
- 1st computer (possibly) with a video game.
- Ran at 650 instructions per second.

I was fortunate to attend a great high school. One of my girlfriends took me to the basement of their mansion and it looked just like this picture. Her Dad was a total geek and perpetually awesome. It was 1969.
@lunduke Hello!
I didn't think I'd see you here anymore, I was sure you removed all social media accounts including this one. ^^
The EDSAC is a cool vintage piece of machinery!
