Subject(s): Review: "This book takes you behind the scenes at the creation of the world's first business computer - the precursor to every computer in every office around the world."--BOOK JACKET. "It places you in the midst of a dynamic group of creative people - visionaries who were the first to recognize the potential and harness the power of computing for business purposes. Written by the real-life participants in these exciting events, it "depicts the scene frankly, warts and all," as David Caminer, the pioneering team leader, writes in his preface."--BOOK JACKET. "LEO reveals the strange and remarkable tale of how Lyons - a venerable tea-and-cake company - bred, incubated, and hatched that history-making business computer."--BOOK JACKET. "In 1951, less than 2 years after the project was initiated, LEO went on-line as the world's first business computer. A forerunner to the IBM mainframes, LEO was the first computer to run a payroll, the first to perform inventories, and the first to track product distribution - as well as the first to calculate the blending of fine, flavorful, and cost-effective cups of tea."--BOOK JACKET.
