I missed the start of this, but come over on a Saturday as that's when
most of us help out there - it tends to be a bit quieter on a Sunday.

Most stuff runs every weekend - the bigger iron (DECs, the Marconi TAC
etc.) sometimes remain off when the outside temperature is really high
as there's no aircon in the museum room. The Elliott 803's currently
down with a core fault unfortunately. The Colossus normally runs at
weekends.

cheers
