teejay Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 This is definitely one for us geeks to support , have put my pledge in. BBC News - Campaign builds to construct Babbage Analytical Engine
aerospacemango Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I saw this earlier and thought.................. Instead of getting people to pledge money, why don't they go to all the major PC marketers and software builders and ask for pledges? I'm pretty sure that Microsoft and Apple probably have a spare million or so rattling around, and as for companies like Dell and HP...... It could be built in next to no time, as opposed to waiting for individuals to cough up!
elishania Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 It's gonna be huge. Can't wait to see it be built!
teejay Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Yeah, at least the size of a lorry, should be good! It's interesting the mix of old and new with using 3d modelling to get it working first.
