An anonymous reader writes "In World War 2 Britain's number one secret weapon was a code-breaking machine called Collossus. This machine was so high-tech and advanced for its time it had to be destroyed at the end of the war and its plans were burnt in the furnace. Now FORMER SPY Tony Sale has painstakingly rebuilt over 14 years — back to it's former glory and in full working order. Here is a BRILLIANT video interview with Tony Sale himself, showing how it works and a bit of its history. Apparentley Collossus is faster than the average Pentium laptop!!!! This really is fascinating and a must see for any history fans and computer geeks — or just those who appreciate an amazing piece of work and machinery."
