Berry's Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC), the Harvard Mark I, the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC), the Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC), William "Bill" Henry Gates, Paul Allen, Microsoft Corporation, and software development, Steven P. Jobs, Stephen G. Wozniak, and Apple Computer Inc., and supercomputers such as IBM's BlueGene/L, the world's fastest supercomputer. Other chapters delve into computer parts from software and hardware to microprocessors and the graphical-user interface (GUI). Other sections cover different kinds of computers, including digital, analog, and hybrid computers, personal computers, Macs, desktops, laptops, notebooks, and personal digital assistants (PDAs), as well as the game designers, programmers, and salespeople who work with computers.
