The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The device was limited by the technology of the day.
- The ABC's priority is debated among historians of computer technology, because it was neither programmable, nor Turing-complete.
- Conventionally, the ABC would be considered the first electronic ALU – which is integrated into every modern processor's design.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Atanasoff–Berry computer article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
