Let's face it, his software was/is nothing special. Only the idea might've been special.

The coding has always been messy and clunky with more clunk to try and correct the other clunk! That's why it takes so much memory space.

I'm not a tech person. I use computer programs only as they are useful to me. From the time I was forced to begin using them (at work), I was astounded by how ridiculous the number of steps required to type a simple letter was.

The destruction of simplicity and the imposition of technology on basic learning for children has--and I don't exaggerate--shocked me. Programs to teach infants to read? How about a parent's lap and an adult hand holding Goodnight Moon? God help this generation.

My 5 grandchildren spend far too long staring at screens and using keyboards but unfortunately they have to be able to use IT these days.

I started out with a Sinclair ZX80 with 1kb RAM memory!
