London, Mar 11 : The first task for the world’s earliest computer – the Manchester-built Mark One – was to compose romantic verse. And now, an expert has recreated the "love poetry generator" on the Internet.

In 1952, one of the original team of scientists, Christopher Strachey, devised a quirky software programme by entering hundreds of romantic verbs and nouns into the new machine.
