Well I guess she is right where she's suppose to be considering her last name is actually Lovelace. Unless of course we're talking about the musician...which I find unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Babbage and Lovelace were on the original 350+ nominees. They just weren't selected by the 20 or so people that voted in the forum. I'll be doing this exercise again for this forum at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
