Subject: [TUHS] OT: Happy birthday, Tommy Flowers!
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 11:42:40 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.1712221142010.27626@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
Tommy Flowers MBE was born on this day in 1905; an electrical and
mechanical engineer, he designed Colossus, arguably the world's first
electronic computer, which was used to break the German "Lorenz"
high-level cipher (not Enigma, as some think).
