My first and only publicly available freeware until 2021 was a HyperCard version of Eliza I wrote it in 1993 and posted to AOL and the ftp Mac shareware archive site.

It led to my first for pay project at a local college when they found it on AOL

26 Jul 1993 Simulates a psychotherapist.

Have you ever talked to your computer, has your computer ever talked back? If you have used a program like Eliza then you probably were stunned at first and then quickly became tired of limited responses and responses that didn't make any sense. If you haven't, then you are in for a treat. Professor X simulates a very understanding, usually nonjudgemental, psychotherapist. It's a very short download give it try
