Who created the computer?

Variations on this question have appeared on the site before, so I will kick-start the controversy by nominating Charles Babbage (after whom the electronic scoreboard on Bob Monkhouse's Family Fortunes was later named). Jan 21 04, 3:49 PM

I agree with Linus. Charles Babbage developed what was called an Analytical Engine in the 1830's. Jan 22 04, 1:55 AM

Colossus, the world's first "real" programable electronic computer, went into operation at Bletchley Park (Station X) in January 1944. It was largely as a result of the efforts of Tommy Flowers, a GPO engineer. http://www.picotech.com/applications/colossus.html Jan 23 04, 2:39 AM
