How do you know it was St Paul, seeing as there is no verifiable
contemporary image of him?

It might have been Simon of Antioch, who looked remarkable similar
from a distance.

Wrong. That was John Logie Baird, a Scotsman, and the wireless (radio) was
in vented by Marconi, an Italian who moved to Britain to develop his
invention.

depends what you mean. There were single user small computers from many
sourrces in the mid to late 70s. The Sinvlair ZX80 preceded the IBM PC by a
year, but neither was the first of its kind.

Depends on the definition - arguably, the first recognisable computer
was built by Alan Turing. A Brit.

First recognisable PC was made by Wang in the early 70s - by this I mean
a desktop machine with monitor and a way of loading programs - in this
case, a cassette drive.

So, the Yanks have that one.

But it was a Brit. who came up with a way to make the Internet usable by
anyone other than geeks and scientists.

I'd say it was education - the average European has a better standard
and better spread of educational knowledge than the average Yank.

A large proportion of Yanks wouldn't be able to place their own state on
a map, let alone know where Stockholm was, for example.
