We're at Bletchley Park, home to the famous code breakers of the Second World War. In this video: Colossus, some 80MB hard drives the size of tumble driers. And some early home computers: Sinclair ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and the original Apple Macintosh
Brought back happy memories of using the Cyber mainframe at Sydney University in the early 80s. I would submit my statistics program from a terminal in my department, then **the next day** I would pedal over to the other side of campus to pick up my printout and discover that I had stuffed up the program... Return to start, repeat :)
Fantastic to see some of the inside scenes of Bletchley Park and the famed Colossus.
Thanks Gareth, Bill and Michelle !
