This is how Minsky solves the problem, but the G�del numbering he uses represents a great inconvenience to the model, and the result is nothing at all like our intuitive notion of a " stored program computer ".

However, his laboratory's computer was the first practical stored program computer to be completed, and operated successfully from May 1949, well over a year before the much larger and more complex EDVAC . In 1950, along with David Wheeler, Wilkes used EDSAC to solve a differential equation relating to gene frequencies in a paper by Ronald Fisher.

In October 1946, work began under Maurice Wilkes on EDSAC ( " Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator " ), which subsequently became the world s first fully operational and practical stored program computer when it ran its first program on 6 May 1949 . It inspired the world s first business computer, LEO . It was replaced by EDSAC 2, the first microcoded and bitsliced computer, in 1958.
