Subject: Manchester Baby Programming Competition
Program the world's first computer!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world's first computer program was run on June 21st 1948 on
the "baby" Mark1 at Manchester. As part of the celebrations to mark
the 50th anniversary of this event next year, we are holding a
competition to program the machine. The winner will have the
opportunity to run their program on the replica of the original
machine. For details of your chance to program the World's First
Stored Program Computer, see

Information on the 1998 celebration in general is at
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/mark1/
Please forward this information to anybody you know who might be
interested - i.e. anybody you know with an interest in computing!
