60+ years of the modern computer

Manchester University's Dept of Computer Science maintains an excellent website celebrating its role over 60 years in developing the modern computer. In addition to lots of back ground materials there are some excellent videos including one by the BBC from 1948 about the Manchester Baby.

During my research I came across this piece by the BBC on a recording from 1951 of the Ferranti Mark 1 computer, a commercial version of the Manchester Baby, playing some songs.  You can listen to the recording from the link above.
