A museum for PCs

A major museum tracing the history of computers is being set up in Bletchley Park in London, where the first ‘modern' computers were set up during World War II. The main attraction of the museum would be the aptly named Colossus computer which was rigged up to enable code breakers to intercept communications of German generals at the peak of the war. It will enable visitors to trace the evolution of the computer from the Colossus, which could not be fit into a large room, to hand-held PCs which will snugly fit into coat pockets. One fascinating aspect of the museum is that all the computers displayed there would be functioning ones, including the Colossus, which has now been restored.
