Having Fun WithPhroggy
Introduction
This article like manyothers I will be doing, is a recreation, tidy up, etc of articles originallypublished in old User Group Magazines. As the quality of these old magazines isquite poor, I decided to take it upon myself to recreate those articles andpresent them in an improved format, with pictorial enhancements and wherepossible improved content.
This time I thought I would have some fun with Phroggy.This article was originally Published in Einstein Monthly News as part of theirHarry the Hacker series of articles.
