A few years ago I tried to find software to teach simple math to my autistic son. When the search failed I wrote my own open source program to do it. (First this old UNIX dog had to learn to program for Windows). I knew that lots of other nerds have autistic kids and I hoped that a few would jump in to contribute to the program. None ever did.
The program worked in its unrefined form and now my son is off learning more advanced things. So I'm done with the program. Still, I wish that the open source development model would have worked here.

Waiting impatiently in line for a keypunch while someone sat there scratching his head - I don't miss those days!

I'd land on aircraft carriers a LOT.
