Who developed the earliest stored-program computers, that was funded and purchased from Ferranti in the UK instead?
UTEC UTEC was a computer built at the University of Toronto (UofT) in the early 1950s. It was one of the first working computers in the world, although only built in a prototype form while awaiting funding for expansion into a full-scale version. This funding was eventually used to purchase a surplus Manchester Mark 1 from Ferranti in the UK instead, and UTEC quickly disappeared. The name was an acronym for "University of Toronto Electronic Computer".
