I first started programming when I was 10 or 11. The first program I designed and wrote was a Phone Directory, for the ZX Spectrum 48k. The uptake to use this in my home was very low. I doubt my dad even knew it existed. I employed a data capturer too, but the ratio of data he captured to the number of free meals he enjoyed made this a business failure from day 1. When I launched the Phone Directory system it was clear, how it was largely impractical, my mom found it easier to use the "Flip-open A-Z Phone Directory". The "data capturer" found it easier to eat, than capture data past the letter G.
