The Colossus Rebuild

It's great to hear that the team over at Bletchley Park has finished its rebuild of Colossus. This was one of the first programmable computers ever built, and it was used for code breaking towards the end of WWII.

The photo above was taken a couple of years ago now when I visited Bletchley Park. The whole project has actually taken 14 years to complete!
