   Turing helped invent the Enigma machine, sadly his name wasn’t given to it or more people would know about it.

   I believe that the Apple logo, with a bite out of it, used on Apple Mac’s is in honor of Alan Turing as he killed himself by injecting poison into an apple and biting it…

   Turing helped decipher the code produced by Germany’s Enigma machine. He conceived the idea of the Turing machine, still used in computer science today.

   I suppose an apology is symbolically for our community good, but I really see it as 69 years too late as Turning will no nothing of it.

   Surely we should be asking for an apology for ALL people convicted of homosexual crimes Brian.
