The two sites were then 'not separate' (by fee or fence). I found both parts interesting and gave about equal time to them, but TNMoC was top. My wife (a historian not a computer nut, but 'just a user of any OS to suit) found the Betchley Hut part interesting and thus we did THMoC last. She was enthralled with THMoC, not what we expected! So both sites have stuff for computer folk or historian interest. We could have spent longer , but were limited to about 4.5 hours for both sites. Enjoy your trip. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
