I've been trying for so long to get one of these, but now I'm going to have to clear a spot in my garage:
Can't wait, but the shipping from the US was a bit eye watering on top of the price of the machine, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do....

Re: Finally the holy grail and just in time for Easter!
You should look buy one of these. Pretty Retro these days dating back to 2001. But I have heard they were still being used in 2010!

Re: Finally the holy grail and just in time for Easter!
I have half of Colossus in the garage already, but the tracking for the other half stops somewhere in Milton Keynes and hasn't moved for the last week and a half.PhilC wrote: 01 Apr 2022 11:08 And Colossus is turning up later this week too right @rubber_jonnie ?
Also, the Cray I ordered, also from the US, seems to be taking the long way round, having just gone round the bottom of South America (Cape Horn). It's been 5 months so far and I'm getting worried.
Also, I think I may need a bigger garage.....

Ok, it's past mid-day, it was all an April Fools joke :)
That said I would very much like to have a PDP-1, though I just don't think it'll ever happen.

I think @rubber_jonnie needs an Interocitor.
