Methinks ol' Herman must have
been born on February 29, 1848. from 39th birthday, I would have ended up with 1844
which would still have been off.
The reason why the 1890 census was expected to take too
long
to process without Hollerith was:
A) There were too many dinosaurs to count
B) Volts flowed slower in those days
C) They were using MICROS~1 software
D) There was a shortage of 1s to use in making binary
E) The need to invent hanging chad
Gee I thought that it was because they were being sued
because the idea of counting people violated SCO's
intellectual property.
