It was great introduction but frustrating introduction into programming in 1982 when most people could not afford to!
A bit of a flicker fest !

UK moved to what was cheap gas power & heat to drive out coal 30 years ago, electricity heating with night stores also hit by tax.
Now Gas is unpopular, electricity night stores are back, with the addition of heat pumps.
If only the government planned better we could have saved so much money instead
