[Waverley ARS] BBC Video/Audio: WWII computer back in action

[Shane Magrath]

I remember seeing the amaxing Enigma machine in the telecommunications
museum at Frankfurt a few years ago - this place just made me weak at the
knees! So much beautiful history in one space.

Apparently the History channel is airing a documentary series this weekend
on radio in Australia - not having Foxtel means I'm going to miss it.

There is a video on BBC Web site re current Bletchley Park decoding
exercise.

The web address is quite long just make sure you copy it all into browser
address otherwise go to:
