 :?D

 British, remember?
  Oh right. I keep forgetting you come from a computationally

Indeed, only the birthplace of Alan Turing - and hence Computer Science
- and in the hardware department, Colossus, and many other seminal

Not to mention, speaking of modern microcomputers, the BBC Micro which
knocked the socks off any Apple II during the 1980s.
