Good for You
I travelled to Bletchley Park a few years ago and it was in a sorry state then. I can only imagine what it's like now, It's a damn shame. Thanks to the reg for helping to preserve a national treasure!
We're delighted to announce today the launch of a Bletchley Park fundraising t-shirt, in response to reader demands that El Reg do something to lend its support to Station X: El Reg's fundraising Enigma t-shirt All profits from the sale of our Enigmatic apparel are split between the the Bletchley Park Trust and The National …
If for no other reason than to demonstrate to myself that I, too, generally only donate to charidee if I get a t-shirt in return....
Also, I get an error from my browser saying you've used the wrong Google Maps API key somewhere. This is an old nightly build, though, so it could just be practicing for whatever today's fatal bug is.
Top Marks for the assist! Bletchley should be saved. Ordered 2 shirts, urging my other geek friends to do the same.
I can't say it any better than Stan Kelly-Bootle:
"Lest we forget....when you next run StarTrader, Hammurabi, or Battleships on your playful inhouse system, spare a thought for those who computed a real war, and won: Atanasoff, Bigelow, Churchhouse, J.P. Eckert, W.J. Eckert, Einstein, Fermi, Goldstine, Mauchly, Newman, Oppenheimer, Telford, Turing, Ulam, von Neumann,Welchman,. . . "
