I taught in a school with John Mauchly's (created ENIAC with Eckert) daughter. Interesting trivia, he spendt most of his life and money collecting reams of weather data from around the world. He filled his garage with it. He believed that a computer could accurately predict the weather if it had enough data. The project never got to the data entry stage.
