Now THIS is what a customer-centric app is.

Most banks keep sending out warning emails about impersonation and scams.

Any app can implement this capability with a little coding + backend work (assuming their BE sensible enough): and yet Monzo is the first one I’ve heard do it.

Pressed F12(?) to open the command line on an Acorn Archimedes and wrote some Basic code to draw some multicoloured circles on the screen. Teacher saw me, accused me of hacking the computer and chucked me out of the lesson. This was the IT teacher.

We live in a future that was built, that is still being built, by the children of Jack Tramiel. Jack didn’t just say “Computers for the masses, not the classes,” he delivered it.

Tramiel was the first and last king of home computing. The age of a computer under every TV, not on every desk. The generation that leads and defines the world of technology today is the generation that he built. History is written by the victors, and so it is that the world is flooded with stories of the success of Apple or Microsoft in the 1980s today.

But speak to a tech founder or visionary. Speak to a CEO or CTO. Speak to a lead software engineer or senior games developer. Ask them who made the computer that made them realise they weren’t just living in the future, but could build it.

Almost to a man or woman they will look at you, with a spark of memory in their eyes, and warmth in their heart, and whisper a single word:

“Commodore.”
