Talk:SEAC (computer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I/m not sure if the E in SEAC is EASTERN or ELECTRONIC - there are references to both. Since the W in SWAC is WESTERN, my guess that it is EASTERN. However there was already a reference to ELECTRONIC, so I kept that name. If anyone can clear this up, please do! --Bubba73 00:04, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
- Well, an article by a person who should know says "Eastern". Memories of the Bureau of Standards' SEAC, by Ralph Slutz, in A History of Computing in the 20th Century, by MEtropolis, et al. Uless I see some objection, I'll move it to EASTERN.--Bubba73 00:31, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

- Now the page has been moved to "Eastern", but I'm finding more contemporary reports calling it "Electronic". I think that it would be better to have it under SEAC and give both names, but there is a disambig page named SEAC. Perhapes it was initially called "electronic", but that became "Eastern" to distinquish it from Western in SWAC. I'd appreciate ideas of how it should be listed. --Bubba73 00:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
