    Scott- if i read your topic sentence... what do i expect your essay to 'only' be about.. see if you can all see what i mean... this is the key to essay writing

    this is my first power 2: the ENIAC, Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, is usually the answer one will receive when asking "What was the first computer?".

    would you think the rest of the paragraph is about the ENIAC in all or about why that would be the answered as the first computer?

    P2: From 77 trophies to the second richest teamin the world, Barcelona surely have nothing to lose.
    P3:Barcelona, having won 77 trophies in all, are the number one team in the world.

    Scott, your power 1 is pretty good, but your power 2's are not related to your power 1. How are penalties related to ice hockey's history?

    Power 1: Even though modern computers have been around for a long period of time, there were a multitude of different , interesting, and unique "magic machines" that lead to today's Macs and PCs.
    Power 2: ENIAC, Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, is usually the answer one will receive when asking, "What was the first computer?".
    Power 2: The abacus has played a majorly significant role in today's computers.
    Power 2: Subjectively, Z1 may be old- school, but , like the abacus and ENIAC, was essental to the evolution of computers.


    Any tips? I'm a bit worried about the last power 2, as it has four commas. Mr. Buxton, in this context is this okay?
