Which year did Edsac come?

This question tests knowledge of when EDSAC became operational. EDSAC, built at Cambridge under Maurice Wilkes, was one of the first stored-program computers and marked a milestone by loading and executing programs from memory. It began service in 1949, the year it actually started running real programs. Dates like 1947 are too early for its operational start, while 1951 and 1960 come after it had already been in use. So the correct year is 1949.
