Astronomy in medieval Islam
In the 15th century, al-Kashi also invented a mechanical planetary computer which he called the Plate of Zones, which could graphically solve a number of planetary problems, including the prediction of the true positions in longitude of the Sun and Moon, and the planets in terms of elliptical orbits; the latitudes of the Sun, Moon, and planets; and the ecliptic of the Sun.

Roger Nichols (recording engineer)
In 1978, Nichols pioneered the technique of "digital drum replacement" by inventing the Wendel sampling computer, which was used to provide some of the drum and percussion sounds on Steely Dan's acclaimed Gaucho album, notably the song "Hey Nineteen".
Mike Markkula
Wozniak, who virtually single-handedly invented the first two Apple computers, credits Markkula for the success of Apple more than himself.
Barona Casino
There is also a museum with cheating devices on display, such as the cigarette pack-sized computer invented by Keith Taft, and other computers that were hidden in shoes.
