    What people have said about Account2

    Drums !Drums was originally written to test the rhythm accuracy of some of my percussion students. You read a piece of music notation and play the rhythm on a MIDI keyboard (or other MIDI device) . The program tells you how accurate your playing is. There are 12 levels of difficulty from easy to downright criminal!

    Tel !Telephone is a simple phone book written mainly to check 1471 stored numbers. It lets you easily dial out (if you have a modem) by clicking on the number you want, and has CSV export so transfer to a more elaborate database is easy. (32k zip)

    Trap !Trapper   When I got my Risc PC, my wife was horrified to find that the only game she liked to play on the A420 would not run on it. So to avoid divorce and other even more unpleasant consequences I had a go at giving this old favourite a face lift for the Risc PC.
    This version (26/04/02) now has a game saving feature.
    The object is very simple, to trap an increasing number of monsters by blocking them in by pushing the walls around. (15k zip)

    Timelog !Timelog keeps a log of time spent on-line. It can be used with any Internet dial-up program and is useful for those that do not have a logging facility built in. I wrote it mainly to use with !ArmTCP. (15k zip)

    Mouse Cat and Mouse   Finally, just to prove what a damn good series of computers the Acorn range has been, this is the very first program I ever wrote. It was written in 1985 for my children (aged 4 and 5 at the time) on an Electron, and still works without modification on my SA RiscPC. Talk about backwards compatibility! (2.5k zip)
