Dude In a Coffee Shop Strikes Up Conversation With the Man Who Invented the World's First Internally-Programmable Computer

And it all started out with, "Do you like Apple?"

And the dude, Joel Runyan, for a second thought the man was dicking him around. Actually, not.

See, "An Unexpected Ass Kicking" (via Instapundit).

The man is Russell Kirsch. He also scanned the first digital image, of his baby son, in 1957. Check the Wikipedia entry, where that photo of Kirsch and Runyon is available from the Wikimedia Commons.
