Now, I have a great affinity for Charles Babbage because his hair is always completely unkempt like this in every single picture. (Laughter) He was a very wealthy man, and a sort of, part of the aristocracy of Britain, and on a Saturday night in Marylebone, were you part of the intelligentsia of that period, you would have been invited round to his house for a soiree — and he invited everybody: kings, the Duke of Wellington, many, many famous people — and he would have shown you one of his mechanical machines.
Saya memiliki banyak kemiripan dengan Charles Babbage karena rambutnya selalu berantakan seperti ini pada setiap fotonya. (Tawa) Dia sangat kaya dan dia adalah semacam bagian kaum ningrat di Inggris, dan di hari Sabtu malam di Marylebone, jika Anda termasuk golongan cendekiawan pada saat itu, Anda akan diundang ke rumahnya untuk mengadakan pertemuan -- dia mengundang semua orang: para raja, Adipati Wellington, dan banyak orang terkenal -- dan dia akan menunjukkan mesin mekanisnya.
