The man was a genius! I did a report on the 5 most important people (IMO) in the development of the computer and Konrad was high on the list. His story is very interesting.
Konrad who? Unsung computer pioneer remembered - The LocalThe inventor of the computer was a little known German engineer named Konrad Zuse, according to a new museum exhibition that seeks to revive the unsung hero’s notoriety.
Six museums around the country, led by the German Museum of Technology (DTMB) are to celebrate the 100th year since Zuse’s birth and bring to light his largely forgotten contribution to the revolutionary invention of the 20th century.
“The computer didn’t come from America, and Bill Gates didn’t invent it,” said Dirk Böndel, director of the DTMB.

Hmm, that reminds me my studies in the 1950's. We had to program a Zuse Z11 as part of our Math education.
You've really used Zuse? I'm impressed!
After reading about this yesterday, I decided to visit the exhibition as soon as possible in German Museum of Technology in Berlin.
Yeah, that's how a Zuse looks like. This is a later model.
