    Cool Colossus loses code-cracking race

    BBC NEWS | Technology | Colossus loses code-cracking race

    Just goes to show how these things have progressed. Colossus had less processing pwere than a pocket calculator, but it was a revolution in its time, and certainly helped us win the war. It has a fantastic place in history, but it is no match for modern computers. I wonder what Turing would have thought of us all having our own personal computers?

    I've always wanted to go there, but have never got round to it.
