As a Comp Sci student at ISU, I have to know this stuff anyway.

Anyhow we are pretty sure here in Washington State that the entire "first computer coming from Iowa theory" is mearly a sham made up to promote tourism to the "First computer ever Museum"
All of these "FACTS" can be found by searching Microsoft website.

Hehheeh. Well until I got to Iowa and was teaching A+, blissfully teaching that Colosus was the 1st digital computer before ENIAC and someone corrected me......
I'd have to go back and look at dates, it's hard to pin down when the first Colosus was made as it was classified till not too long ago. Has to be around or before 1941 tho.
