Of course I looked at it you dope. How else would I know that it's
rubbish?

Yes, I did. That's what convinced me that it's rubbish. The main
thing it's lacking is an interface. If I want to order a pizza I dial
6 numbers in to my 'phone, they confirm my address using Caller ID, I
tell them what I want, they deliver. The whole ordering process takes
about 30 seconds. When I order a sandwich I ring ahead, tell them what
I want, then I go to get it. The order process there takes about 30
seconds. Your "software" can't beat that.

Where to begin... I started programming 23 years ago, when I was 12,
and made money from a program I wrote when I was 15. My BSc
dissertation was entitled "The Use of Genetic Algorithms in Optical
Character Recognition". It was written in Borland C and could read
handwriting with 60% accuracy. Not too shabby considering I had less
than a year to clue up on what GAs are, how OCR works, and how to
implement it.

After university (1996) I wrote data transformation utilities that took
data from ICL mainframes and put it in to a variety of local government
service databases. After that (1998) I started developing web-based
applications for the publishing and aviation industries. One project
included running a web site from CD with full search and shopping
basket facilities using a pseudo-embedded web server.

If you want to see some of my work, it's at

still in Little League.
