Alrighty, if you want accomplishments, lets go back to the Bell Labs Model
1 electromechanical computer in 1930, the ENIGMA coding machine in 1928 or
the Babbage/Lovelace "Analytical Engine" of 1834...but I do think the
question asked was regarding the first OS, not the first computer, my
addition to my last post was for historical perspective only. My point
was, If someone was building computers prior to the first OS, then we all
deduced the human must have been the first OS....this of course comes
without much thought or historical research on our part :)
