Hi,

In September of 1981 while in England I happened upon
a computer show. I
said I was with the Northwest Computer News and got a press pass. Our local
computer club newsletter was a 12 page tabloid size newspaper. I interviewed
many vendors and took notes. After a trip to England I talked with the
editor and she wrote this story for the October 1981 issue.

I was there...
The Brits on this list can tell me if I got the story
right.
Pretty much. The database writing program was, I presume, the much hyped
"The Last One" which eventually died. I recall a similar system for the
TRS-80 and later the IBM PC called IIRC "Creator", I think I've got a
copy somewhere.
