A paper documenting the history of the concept:
[http://www.tomandmaria.com/tom/Writing/StoredProgramConsideredHarmfulPREPRINT.pdf ‘Stored Program Concept' Considered Harmful] [[User:Diego Moya|Diego]] ([[User talk:Diego Moya|talk]]) 15:33, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
== Third stored-program computer? ==
The article says: "The third stored-program computer to be built, and the first one in continental Europe, was the MESM, completed in the Soviet Union in 1951." But [[EDVAC]] was completed in 1949, and it isn't listed. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 02:48, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
: Well, actually it had problems until 1951. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 04:46, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
== ARC2/ APE(X)C ==
The article says that the ARC2 came online in May 1948. But did it run a stored program? The article about the development of the APE(X)C says that it wasn't completed until June 1952.
''Early British Computers'', by S. Lavington, page 63 says that the APE(R)C - different from the APE(X)C, I believe - "was operating with limited storage in July 1952." It doesn't mention the APE(X)C. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 01:29, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
"The Development of Computer Programming in Britan (1945-1955)" by Martin Cambell-Kelly, in ''Annals of the History of Computing", vol 4, #2, lists APEXC as 1953. But I need to read the whole article to see what it says about APEXC. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 01:11, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
== So, like today's computers? ==
It sounds like pretty much every computer today would fit into this category. Shouldn't there be a mention of that in the article?

: As far as I know, every general-purpose one built since the late 1940s. [[User:Bubba73|Bubba73]] <sup>[[User talk:Bubba73|You talkin' to me?]]</sup> 07:49, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
