Bletchley Park and the Enigma
Sounds like fun.
I have sat on a Cray - stood around many others.
Even bought one for my department - and ordered 2 dozen disks in
six-packs
to fill up a cache of storage. Naturally only 1/2 of it was for us -
the rest was for IT. What a rip!
Martin :-) Fun days back then - lots of work but fun also.

configurations, and a bombe, along with lots and lots of other
interesting stuff (wanna have a sit-down on a cray 1?).
