	George Stibitz : Bio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Born in York, Pennsylvania, Stibitz attended Moraine Park, an experimental school in Dayton, Ohio, and graduated from Denison University in 1926 with a Ph.B. in Applied Mathematics.
		George R. Stibitz is internationally recognized as the father of the modern digital computer.
		Stibitz's interest in computers arose from an assignment in 1937 to study magneto-mechanics of telephone relays; he turned his attention to the binary circuits controlled by the relays, to the arithmetic operations expressible in binary form, and, in November 1937, to the construction of a two-digit binary adder.

	George Stibitz (1904 - 1995)
		Realising that boolean logic could be used for the circuitry of electromechanical telephone relays, Stibitz gathered together a conglomeration of old relays, batteries, flashlight bulbs, wires, and tin strips - and sat down at his kitchen table in 1937 to fiddle.
		Stibitz took his circuit back to Bell Labs and over the next two years, working in conjunction with Samuel Williams, devised a machine that could calculate all four basic mathematical functions with complex numbers.
		Stibitz joined the Department of Physiology at Dartmouth College in 1964, and continued his research into the applications of mathematics, physics, and computers on biophysical systems until 1983.

	George Stibitz
		George Stibitz (April 20, 1904 - January 31, 1995) was a Bell Labs researcher mostly known for his 1930s and 1940s work on the realization of Boolean logic digital circuits using electromechanical relays as the switching element.
		In November of 1937, George Stibitz, then working at Bell Labs, completed a relay-based computer he dubbed the \"Model K\" (for \"kitchen\", where he had assembled it), which calculated using binary addition.
		Stibitz held 38 patents, in addition to those he earned at Bell Labs.

	DIY Calculator :: First Electromechanical Computers
		Stibitz’s machine, which he called the “Model K” (because most of it was constructed on his kitchen table), worked on the principle that if two relays were activated they caused a third relay to become active, where this third relay represented the sum of the operation.
		Stibitz went on to create a machine called the Complex Number Calculator, which, although not tremendously sophisticated by today’s standards, was an important step along the way.
		In the first example of remote computing, Stibitz astounded the attendees by allowing them to pose problems, which were entered on the teleprinter’s keypad; within a short time, the teleprinter presented the answers generated by the computer.

		George Stibitz's Bell Labs Complex Number Calculator becomes operational on 8 January 1940.
		It seems to flow more from Al Gore's statement (in 1996) that ENIAC was "the first computer in the world" (an indication of the future claim that the vice president had "invented" the Internet) and Bill Clinton's allusion to it in his second inaugural address (January 1997).
