    COMPLEX NUMBER CALCULATOR OPERATIONAL
    January 8, 1940 - Bell Laboratories, U.S.A.

    George Stibitz's Complex Number Calculator was functional. He was a research mathematician at Bell Laboratories, who worked on its construction from Apr 1939, assisted by Samuel Williams. Later known as Bell Labs Model I Relay Computer, it used telephone relays and coded decimal numbers as groups of four binary digits (bits) each. It has been called the first electromechanical computer for routine use. A demonstration of its ability in remote computing was given on 11 Sep 1940, when messages were exchanged by phone lines between teletypewriter operators. Calculations suggested by attendees of the American Mathematical Society's meeting at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire were communicated to an attendant at the keyboard of Stibitz's calculator in New York.

There are many reasons why you may have decided to sell your timeshare. The current financial crisis has forced you to make savings, the resort may no longer suitable for your needs; you would rather spend your holiday elsewhere. Whatever the reason, once you have decided to sell, the next step is to get it sold quickly, cost effectively and for the best price possible.

Choose your timeshare reseller carefully. Some resellers will ask for upfront fees to sell your timeshare, do you think these companies will try hard to sell your timeshare once they have your money I suspect not.

Some companies will only charge fees once your timeshare has been sold, if this is the case you know the reseller will work hard to sell your property and will hopefully use a variety of channels to sell such as through the internet, TV ads and press advertising.

It is definitely worth considering a company which will provide more than 1 option to sell your timeshare; you may be happy to sell your timeshare for a fixed price, take the best offer or maybe even sell it through an auction. There are timeshare resale companies who offer all these options when you choose to sell your timeshare.

You will need to provide information such as the resort name, apartment size, the timeshare week you are selling and current maintenance fee and maybe photographs. A reputable timeshare resale company will give you access to resort information and photographs so don?t worry if you don?t have good quality photographs of your own to use.

To get the best selling price it is important you understand what your timeshare is worth so do your research on the price similar apartments are being marketed at. Again, a good timeshare resale company will be able to provide you with details of the current market value of your timeshare.

Remember there are lots of companies out there who will take large upfront fees off you to sell your timeshare and will not deliver on their promises. Find a company you know you can trust who will only charge a fee once your property is sold.
