He continued to develop his fun programs, surprising his friends with different stories and phrases popping up on the screen whilst they were hard at work on their computers. Then we started working on hiding it so that nobody can see it. We developed this code and we left it. We became bored of it. Amjad and his brothers kept on writing and selling software.

The warning was clear. If the software was copied, then the special code that Amjad and his brother Basit had written into the program would spread to other computers. Amjad forgot about his project for the doctor. Then, one day, he was working late.
