[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 476040, member: 1408"] I learned from TonyS's Tour of Bletchley Park that Churchill didn't destroy Colossus , the world's first computer after all . He did have them destroyed but Mk 1 and Mk2 went to GCHQ until the early 60's apparently. Today a modern computer could do the calcs that took Colossus 4 hrs in 45secs . But it was still a mighty achievement by Mr Tommy Flowers of the GPO . [/QUOTE]
