     @bbcmicrobot I can’t engage in LinkedIn since I don’t have an account but, wow, this just teleported me back to seven year old me in computer class at school in Malaysia.

     @aral @bbcmicrobot I didn't realise the BBC Micro was also used in education in #Malaysia (although it makes sense, as Malaysia is a 230V country with PAL video standard and strong historical links to the UK)
