The Apple ][+ (which I bought in 1981) had left and right arrow keys, but no up/down arrow keys.

CLR James once asked 'What do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?'

I think the same applies here.

I hope this will you help in case you cannot afford to hire anyone at all with a elementary school level of Arabic script reading.

Even more reason to avoid standing near a burst pipe.

Amazon - the company that broke online shopping.

That web site is all flashy presentation, I couldn't tell if there was any actual information hidden amongst the animations.
