I never met him, but he was a businessman who also made a lot of use
of networked QLs in his business in the early days (1980s). TT credits
him in the TK2 updates list for mods to the network code.
Ah yes - I had forgotten. Thanks for reminding me.
He ran (runs?) a chain of kitchen shops and used networked QLs. I
suspect he got TT to cure many bugs in the network code!
I sold him the last 12 of the Telepen barcoders I sold in the 80s. I
used Archive runtime module to implement ser1 input (and a beep) so that
barcodes could be directly input by archive. The runtime module allowed
use of machine code. Don't ask me how it hooked in - it is so long ago
that I have forgotten! A really great utility though.
I wonder if he ever used them on the sales floor - I suspect not.
