Computing in 100 BC

NYT reports on Antikythera Mechaism that could be considered analog computing in 100 BC. Interesting that:

the device not only predicted solar eclipses but also organized the calendar in the four-year cycles of the Olympiad, forerunner of the modern Olympic Games.

So human quest for computing has truly been very old.
