Oh shite, I was wrong.
Chris has a #CommodorePET at home and a thumping big hard drive. Wait for it, Chris is writing #software in Commodore #BASIC, an “expert system” for ‘House Planning’. Expected time to completion?
Three months to write the code; Three months to populate the (database) system to make it useful.
Hack Chris, Hack
“It’s a bright and sunny day, just right for a stroll in the fresh air. But businessman Graham has got a problem that’s keeping him indoors.
He’s tying to locate the Princess of Serenia (The Wizard and the Princess and Adventure in Serenia) …”
See the pattern? 🤣☺️

Shop keeper Phyllis used her computer system to automate book keeping, taking the time to prepare from five hours to five minutes.
Having learned the system down to hardware level, Phyllis is now building an electronics kit. Her aim? Build a computer herself; Or as we called it an “electronic gadget”.
What Phyllis doesn’t say is she was a maths graduate from University and “#Cypher Clerk” in “Hut 5” at #BletchleyPark during the war.
The”Official Secrets Act” was in force in 1983 😂🤣☺️
