Turing Welchman Bombe in BASIC

[Dr Jefyll]

Simon, you're clearly a force to be reckoned with! You've gone from creating a ...

• Bender to a
  Beer Cooler (jet powered) to a
  Bombe

and that's just a partial list of your projects. All I can say is, I'm glad you're on our side!!!

The biggest problem with the Bombe is it's impossible to take it anywhere! Oh, it's portable enough, even has a convenient carry handle. Explaining it to security though might be somewhat problematic

It doesn't help that its name is Bombe. The average security bloke would focus in on Bomb without the trailing 'e' and go ballistic.

I figured if I ever do take it anywhere I would call it a Turing Machine, which technically the real Bombe isn't of course. Although mine is built on a Raspberry Pi (and the Arduino) both of which are Turing complete I guess?

Or I could just call it Christopher Jr.

How about if you call it "Simon says."
