Reaction Timer On Spectrum

Enter the program as listed and RUN. The instructions are displayed and you
should press any key to proceed.

When you have pressed a key there will be a random delay in which if you press
a key a message saying 'do no cheat' will be displayed and you will be asked to
press another key to proceed.

When the border colour changes you should press any key as fast as you can and
your reaction time will be displayed. If you took longer than .5 second then a
message 'do not waste my time' will appear, and you will again be asked to
press any key to preceded.

If your reaction was not the fastest then the fastest will be displayed with
the name of the person who achieved this.

If your reaction was the fastest you are told so and you can enter in your
name. When you have done so it will be displayed and you will be asked as to
whether you want another go.
