Price of progress

My A.s.a. project (autonomous software agent) is 24 years old now and A.s.a. H. is nearly 16 years old. Over that period of time some upgrade of hardware and software was essential. Newer and faster computers, more memory, more sensors, better more realistic simulations, a larger casebase, improved pain system, etc. Other changes were more incidental. Migrating between MAC OS and WINDOWS and LINUX, adding LEGO eV3s, Arduinos, and Raspberry Pis, QB64, RobotBASIC, C++.  Each modification takes time and introduces bugs.* Because of such issues I’ve resisted migrating A.s.a. H. To Python.

* Including such things as the Raspberry Pi assuming a UK keyboard so that you have to use the \ symbol to get #!
