Amaya Toman Engxenyeni yanamuhla yokubuyela kwethu njalo esikhathini esedlule, sizokhuluma ngemikhiqizo emibili. Eyokuqala kuyoba ikhibhodi ye-Dvorak, abasunguli bayo abanelungelo lobunikazi ngoMeyi 1939. Ingxenye yesibili yalesi sihloko izokhuluma ngokuqedwa kwekhompyutha ye-Z3, okuwumthwalo wemfanelo kanjiniyela waseJalimane u-Konrad Zuse.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ikhibhodi ye-Dvorak (1939)
NgoMeyi 12, 1939, u-August Dvorak, uprofesa wase-University of Washington, kanye nomlamu wakhe uWilliam Dealey, banelungelo lobunikazi bekhibhodi esaziwa nanamuhla ngaphansi kwegama elithi DSK (Dvorak Simplified Keyboard). Isici esijwayelekile sale khibhodi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ubuduze bezinhlamvu eziyisihluthulelo nokutholakala kuzo zombili izinguqulo zesandla sokudla nesobunxele. Umgomo ongemuva kokuhlelwa kwekhibhodi eyenziwe lula ka-Dvorak wawuwukuthi nakuba isandla esibusayo sasitholakala kongwaqa, ongabusanga wayenakekela onkamisa nongwaqa abangavamile.

Ukuqedwa kwe-Z3 Computer (1941)
NgoMeyi 12, 1941, unjiniyela waseJalimane u-Konrad Zuse waqeda ukuhlanganiswa kwekhompyutha ebizwa ngokuthi i-Z3. Kwakuyikhompyutha yokuqala esebenza ngokugcwele elawulwa uhlelo lwe-electromechanical. Ikhompuyutha ye-Z3 ngokwengxenye yaxhaswa uhulumeni waseJalimane ngokwesekwa yi-DVL (“Deutsche Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt” – German Institute for Aviation). Ngaphezu kwekhompiyutha ye-Z3 eshiwo, u-Konrad Zuse ubeneminye imishini eminingana kuye, kodwa i-Z3 ngokungangabazeki ingenye yezimpumelelo zakhe ezinkulu, futhi uZuse waklonyeliswa ngomklomelo we-Werner-von-Siemens-Ring ngayo. Ngawo lowo nyaka lapho ethule khona i-Z3 yakhe, uKonard Zuse naye wasungula inkampani yakhe - futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo enye yezinkampani zokuqala zamakhompiyutha, okwavela kuyo indawo yokusebenzela imodeli ye-Z4, enye yamakhompiyutha okuqala okuhweba, yavela kamuva.
