(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Antikythera mechanism

The Antikythera mechanism is considered the world's first known mechanical computer, discovered off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901. It contains many gears, and is regarded essentially as an analog computer. The calculator appears to be constructed upon theories of astronomy and mathematics developed by Greek astronomers and it is estimated that it was made around 150 to 100 BC.
