that's really "awesome"

Condescending quotes around an article's headline aren't appropriate here:

Ancient "computer" deciphered

After a closer examination of a surviving marvel of ancient Greek technology known as the Antikythera Mechanism, scientists have found that the device not only predicted solar eclipses but also organized the calendar in the four-year cycles of the Olympiad, forerunner of the modern Olympic Games.


Sounds like a computer to me. :)
