Tony Priest:

Tony Priest, visited Cambridge Centre for Computer History, May 2018 and was really happy to hear about partnership with LEO Computers Society and LEO heritage plans. He worked at Hartree House. He was employed as LEO II was being decommissioned and worked on LEO III there. He left a comment on our Facebook page over the weekend: “What a nostalgic visit! The Centre is doing great work to preserve so much that is important, especially the vital importance of the pioneering British computer industry. From the LEO displays – my first job was programming for LEO III – to the development of home computers and games consoles. The incredible computer power now available at such low cost. Keep it up please. And all the best for your Lottery funding bid for the LEO archive material project.
