ENIAC's "wire-your-own" instruction technique made it hard to _____________
for other purposes.
32.
ENIAC was frequently out of commission, because if one of its 17,468

In 1945, John Von Neuman spread the word about the stored program theory, a
set of concepts necessary for developing the __________________________.
