The first mention of "computer" in the New York Times (danwin.com)

A minor objection -- the reference is to the old meaning of "computer", i.e. someone who computes, not something that computes.

The first appearance of the modern meaning of "computer" might be interesting, and it almost certainly will appear after about 1945.
