Folks,

For those not already fully booked up this Easter, there is down the
road at *The National Museum of Computing* :


Electrojumble!

#####
The National Museum of Computing (www.tnmoc.org) on Bletchley Park will
be holding its first-ever ElectroJumble on Sunday 21 April 2019.

Over the years, the museum has accumulated many pieces of electronic
apparatus and components...
#####


Also a very good excuse to visit the new old stuff that they have got
working. And also to see the resited Bombe that they retrieved from over
the 'Brexit' barbed wire fence from next door.

(Quite a bit of a different spin on "Can we have our ball back?"!)

Is it really so many years since our last visit??!...

They have a fair few bits to show off:
