We are very sad to hear that Dick Barnes, early computer pioneer and co-designer of the #HarwellDekatron / #WITCH, has passed away. Here is our tribute to him. The WITCH pays tribute every day at the museum. https://t.co/NQZsWfnHuE

Peter Kirstein's research group at University College London was one of the first international connections on the #ARPANET in 1973.

@bettygorf caught up with him this week for our archive - we look forward to bringing you the interview very soon.

Frank Land escaped Nazi Germany in 1939 & was fostered in Hertfordshire. His first job was with J Lyons & Co as a statistics clerk where he worked on LEO, the first business computer.

His interview is a fascinating read:👇
