And that from the article, the writer of the original article hadn't been there, and had incorrect information.
His work was deleted, and the orignal error fileld article, was placed back. he emailed and told them, he was on the design team. And that obviously whomever wrote the orignial article, knew nothing about the computer.
He tried two more times, and was banned.
So I feel I have excellent reasons for not trusting wikipedia as a source.

This story show that you have reason to trust it. What evidence other then just saying so did he provide that he was on the design team? Somebody just emailing saying something is not a reliable source.
