The first advances in computing really took place in the 1940's but even before that, people were working on machines that would lay the groundwork for today's computers.

In 1939 Professor John Atanasoff and his student Cliff Berry started work on the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC). Atanasoff tried to patent the computer, but only succeeded in patenting some of his ideas. The computer itself was declared un-patentable and this landmark judgement resulted in the computer becoming freely open to anyone. The ABC itself was completed in 1942.

1941 saw the unveiling of the Z3 computer by Konrad Zuse. It was a fully operational calculating machine. In 1944, Colossus, the first binary and partially programmable computer was operational at Bletchley Park, England. It was created by engineer Tommy Flowers and was used to break the complex Lorenz codes used by the Nazi's during the Second World War, cutting the code cracking time from weeks to hours.

The latter end of the forties saw Claude Shannon from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology build the first machine that plays chess and the founding of the first computer company, Electronic Controls Company, by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert.

The fifties brought yet more advances. In 1950, Hideo Yamachito created the first electronic computer and in 1951 the first business computer, the Lyons Electronic Office (LEO) was completed, to solve clerical problems. The first commercial computer, the "First Ferranti MARK I" at Manchester University also started work.

In 1953, IBM released their first computer - the 701, of which 19 units were made and sold. In 1954 they released the IBM 650 that sold much better.

In 1955, Tim Berners-Lee was born. He would go on to invent the internet at CERN, which itself was established in 1954. The internet revolutionised the world of computers.

The 40's, 50's and 60's are where the computer evolved and started to develop potential for the many applications it has today.

KVM switches and KVM extenders are useful for connecting and networking computers, allowing operation of the keyboard, video monitor and mouse away from the CPU. They also allow one computer to control selected multiple computers with only one set of input and output devices.

Nazi Science $22.5 In this book, Mark Walker - a historical scholar of Nazi science - brings to light the overwhelming impact of Hitler's regime on science and, ultimately, on the pursuit of the German atomic bomb. Walker meticulously draws on hundreds of original documents to examine the role of German scientists in the rise and fall of the Third Reich. He investigates whether most German scientists during Hitler's regime enthusiastically embraced the tenets of National Socialism or cooperated in a Faustian pact for financial support, which contributed to National Socialism's running rampant and culminated in the rape of Europe and the genocide of millions of Jews. This work unravels the myths and controversies surrounding Hitler's atomic bomb project. It provides a look at what surprisingly turned out to be an Achilles' heel for Hitler - the misuse of science and scientists in the service of the Third Reich.

Nazi Spies In America $17.18 Rated: NASynopsis: The attacks on September 11, 2001 did not mark the first time foreign nationals were secreted onto American soil. At the height of WWII, 8 German saboteurs crossed the Atlantic in a pair of U-boats, surfacing on the eastern shore with plans to attack, destroy, and terrorize. When captured, 6 of the 8 were executed, while the ringleader languished in prison. Recently declassified FBI documents paint a new portrait of the doomed mission and offer a surprising account from the spies' point of view.

Holocaust: The Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews $30.15 In 1998, Peter Longerich published Politik der Vernichtung (Politics of Destruction), a stunning re-examination of the Holocaust. The book received universal acclaim, and is now generally recognized by historians as the standard account of this horrific chapter in human history. Now finally available in English, this masterful history uses an unrivalled range of sources to lay out in clear detail the steps taken by the Nazis that would lead ultimately to the Final Solution. Focusing closely on the perpetrators and exploring the process of decision making, Longerich convincingly shows that anti-Semitism was not a mere by-product of the Nazis' political mobilization or an attempt to deflect the attention of the masses. Rather, from 1933 anti-Jewish policy was a central tenet of the Nazi movement's attempts to implement, disseminate, and secure National Socialist rule--and one which crucially shaped Nazi policy decisions. Holocaust is perhaps most remarkable for its extensive use of the 1930s archives of the Central Association of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith, which re-emerged in the 1990s after years languishing in Moscow. The letters and reports from this archive document in detail the attacks suffered by ordinary Jewish people from their German neighbors. They show how, contrary to what has been believed in the past, the German populace responded relatively enthusiastically to Nazi anti-Semitism. This long-awaited English edition has been fully updated by Longerich himself. It features revised appendices with notes and further reading, as well as a new preface by the author. In addition, Longerich has added new material on the Jewish victims and on the camps and the ghettos, and has extended the story from the end of the war right up to the present day. In all, it is the most complete treatment ever published on the history of this monumental tragedy. "A major contribution to an undeniably important subject." -- Ian Kershaw "A milestone in holocaust scholarship." --Christopher Browning, author of Origins of the Final Solution "Superb, perhaps the best overview there is, very distinctiveELoffers a lot of original primary research." --Mark Roseman, author of The Villa, The Lake, The Meeting "A formidable work of scholarship...the most authoritative account of the Holocaust that we have." --Jeremy Noakes, editor of Nazism 1919-1945.
