Not everyone was pleased.

Not everyone was pleased. The report Goldstine circulated had only the name of John von Neumann on its title page. Eckert and Mauchly, who were hoping to patent aspects of computer design, were furious. The ENIAC’s inventors accused von Neumann of inflating his contribution to the project and rehashing their work.

‘Johnny learned instantly, of course, as was his nature,’ Mauchly wrote. ‘But he chose to refer to the modules we had described as ‘organs’ and to substitute hypothetical ‘neurons’ for hypothetical vacuum tubes or other devices which could perform logical functions. It was clear that Johnny was rephrasing our logic, but it was still the SAME logic. Johnny did NOT alter the fundamental concepts which we had already formulated for the EDVAC.’

ну в общем как я и ожидал. не зря я решил дочитать The Man from the Future
