Because it was the first binary computer that did calculations with electronic switching elements (gates), and it would be really cool to have one! The ABC also pioneered the use of capciators as regenerative storage elements (it's how DRAM still works today). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atanasoff%E2%80%93Berry_Computer It predated ENIAC, and it's clear that some of the features of ENIAC were inspired by the ABC after John Mauchly visited Iowa State and saw the ABC. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
