Colin Powell: I used 2 computers while heading up State

Powell served as secretary of state under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005, and during that time he "changed the brainware" of State's culture by using email, he said.

"And I would email relatives, friends, but I would also email in the department," said Powell. "But it was mostly housekeeping stuff. 'What's the status in this paper? What's going on here?' So it was my own classified system, but I had a classified system also on my desk."
