On Columbus Day,
sure seems like a lot of people going along with the idea of "marketing"
Columbus as having been the "discoverer".
Just like the majority of books going along with "marketing" the Intel
4004 as being the "first" whatever it was.
The predecessors will be recorded, if at all, in most of the histories
along with the Vikings and those from Asia who had settled the place a
while back.
