he probably would have done if there'd been any available. In real life, he was not at all repressed as he is shown as being in this film, he was quite open with his friends about his sexual inclinations.

Erm, no. Charles Babbage is traditionally known as the "father of the computer"

Charles Babbage has built The Machine in 1833. The Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.

So sorry, but this guy got Turing beat by a hundred years.
