    I see the twits at the mail copied the ITV mistake of linking it to Colossus.

    A German Enigma coding machine has sold for more than £85,000.
    The rare device went under the hammer today and estimates expected it to sell for £40,000 to £60,000.
    However, a lively bidding session at Bonhams in Knightsbridge saw it fetch an impressive £85,250.

    Even the real things don't hold attention for long. 20 minutes playing with one and you'll want to do something else. Feeding pigeons, etc...

    Geoff,

    I think that it is a little too complex for me.

    Like others, I will stick with my daily dose of Sudoku:D
