The first computer to calculate Pi
I guess the ENIAC was the first computer to calculate a lot of things, since it was the first computer to calculate. But Pi has a special place around here. Pocket-Lint did a nice write up about the whole thing.

This web site is devoted to ENIAC — “Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer”. ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic computer. It was made at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering during World War II under the code name "Project PX". Physics professor John W. Mauchly and electrical engineer J. Presper Eckert led the team. Both were civilian employees whose computer work was funded by the United States Army Ballistics Research Laboratory. This is a collection of the best online information about the ENIAC and the people that created it.
