My wife and I visited Bletchley Park back in 2001 when we were last in the UK at the same time - she's been back once since then, and I've been back three times, but not together. This was shortly after the making of the film "Enigma". I've actually touched a real Enigma - there's one at the Computer History Museum. Chris/Bob/Cotty - I've asked my wife to see if one of her co-workers has any contacts at Bletchley - I know some of the areas there are usually off-limits to digital cameras (apparently they don't play well with the security system). Film cameras don't have the same problems - I'd suggest taking one along. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
