I was just shying off admitting my age.... I expected you not to know. But
I'm younger than I look, so I don't know why. ;-) Here's another random fact
for you (I too like random facts more than history): Colossus (the first
real electronic computer) was end of 1943/beginning of 1944 (depending on
whether you take the first day it worked or the first day it went
operational).

No - that was why I said that we were sadly (from my point of view) unlikely
to meet.
