摘要：

How quickly did the computer revolution reach the most remote Westernized country? Conventional history holds that the first modern computer in New Zealand-where "modern" means electronic, and with stored programs-was an IBM 650 leased from IBM Australia by the New Zealand Treasury in November 1960, and officially inaugurated in March 1961. This article discusses an alternative hypothesis-that the pioneer was in fact an ICT 1201 ordered in 1959 and installed by the New Zealand Department of Education a few months before the arrival of the IBM 650.
