      It's a delightful tale, with intriguing reminders of the strange world I grew up in.

    Congratulations on a remarkable achievement. You told a gripping story, both compulsive reading and thought provoking.

    My age is now the fourth power of a whole number, something I'm unlikely to manage again :-)

    Thank you for reading the first part of Eric's story. I hope you've enjoyed it. :)

      Thank you for writing the story. I'm enjoying the second part now.

      I'm roughly in Eric's age group but can manage computers. The first one I encountered was the valve machine EDSACII in Cambridge in 1962, but very few people had encountered a computer in those days. Turing had died several years before, but one of his associates, Norman Routledge, was one of my Directors of Studies.

      Wow, that sounds fascinating. You were in at, if not the beginning of computers, then very soon thereafter. It must have been quite something to be involved such radical work. 

      The number of people who still lack computer literacy is startling and this despite the push to do everything online.

    " a few surprises coming that I've saved until last. " I expect some people will start to lay bets 🙂

    I saw a gas powered radio when I visited the National Gas Museum yesterday. Perhaps the thought will inspire someone to write a story about an alternative reality in which civilisation depends on gas.
