Jesse Vorst asked:  
What is the difference between the Phillips and the Moniac?  
  
  
The Phillips at the Erasmus University is still there. You will find this beautifully
restored machine in the hall opposite the entrance to the main lecture hall (aula).
  
The Phillips machine has other names too: the first prototype was called Mark (I), the
later versions that found their across the world are called Mark II. With a wink to the
ENIAC, the machine was also called MONIAC (Monetary National Income Automatic Computer).
