Sponsor a Valve On Colossus

Posted by timothy on Thursday February 9, 2012 @05:01AM from the don't-worry-they-have-tubes-too dept.

mikejuk writes "The UK's National Museum of Computing has come up with a novel idea to raise funds for its new gallery for its rebuilt Colossus computer — you can sponsor a valve. All you have to do is buy a small area in a picture of Colossus (at £0.1 per pixel — min £10), upload a picture to occupy the space, set a URL and pay using PayPal."
