Is Turing a language ? For all I can remember, I thought Turing refers
to the guy who conceptualized the "Turing Machine" which becomes the
proof that you can define a really simple machine to process an
infinite language. And, based on that evolved the Harvard and Von Neumann
architectures of today's computers.

Can't remember anything more than that. But go to your local library
and look for the subject "Turing Machine".

If I'm referring to a different thing all together, ignore me  :-).
