Thank you Terry, that would be very much appreciated. The book I've got is "The secret life of Bletchley Park" by Sinclair McKay, ISBN 978 1 84513 633 8. I'll happily lend you mine in return, although I warn you I wasn't very happy with the way the narrative jumped around. I may not be around for the next meeting, if not, I'll give mine to Ralph and he can handle the swap for me, (if he agrees !). -- Cheers Peter -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday 2012-03-06 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
