[Cryptography] RIP Tommy Flowers

[Dave Horsfall]

We lost Tommy Flowers MBE, designer of Colossus (and possibly the world's 
first digital computer[*]) in 1998.  He served at Bletchley Park in WW-2, 
beavering away on the Nazi Enigma code, which pretty much shaved a couple 
of years off the war.

[*]
Some like to boast that ENIAC was first, but only because Colossus was 
kept a massive secret.
