Actually it wasTo piss off the then Roger Wilson, head techy at Acorn. He used wander over to my bit of Acorn and check out all the silly pointless programs I used to write. We got in an argument about animation, with him insisting you needed to deliver a constant 25 frames per second and me insisting it was dependent on some good drawing. I won. And then he did Acorn Replay which was well dodgy.
