"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Quote by Thomas Watson, IBM chairman, 1943 Through the QWERTY maze fingers travel afar discover where virtual worlds are, but a digital divide locations denied. Modern day tide, such dismay for those left aside. This is happening worldwide but we must neither exclude nor bar. Through the QWERTY maze fingers travel afar. _____________________________________ 18 January 2023 First Place, Writing Challenge - Andaree Form, sponsored by Constance La France Checked against Syllable Counter and RhymeZone

Thanks. I guess he was, but at the time computers were the size of a house so it's understandable!
