Read NO ORDINARY ROOM for Free Online

Jamie threw his magazine to the floor and hurried away in the direction of his special room.  It was Jamie who had actually read the name on the small tag attached to the pet’s collar, but he hadn’t thought to try it.
    Jamie willed the computer to start up faster than normal as first it bleeped and then  went through its start-up routine which lasted no more than five seconds, but seemed much longer.  His hand hovered above the keyboard ready to try out his sister’s suggestion, but groaned when the screen turned blue and an error message appeared on the screen.
    ‘You stupid machine,’ Jamie shouted out and then reached for the reset button which he pressed to start the whole process again.  He had seen a similar error message on the school computers lots of times, but not on this machine.  Jamie had two fingers on both hands crossed as he watched the start-up progress on the screen.  He was relieved when the password window appeared and he prepared to try, ‘ OHMSLAW ’ and he closed his eyes after he’d entered the last letter.  Even before he viewed the screen he sensed that something different was happening compared to all the previous failed attempts and  once he realised that he was ‘in’ and that the computer was ready for use he let out a loud cheer.  If Jamie didn’t give Leanne a 'thank you' kiss later then he probably never would.
    He was about to shout down the good news to the family when he saw the message appear on the screen.
       
    Hello, Jamie.  
    If you ever get to read this message then please take care of my faithful cat, Ohmslaw and remember that without him you wouldn’t be reading this message and about to enjoy the pleasures of computing.  Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the PC.  It’s a Rolls Royce in the body of an old Morris Minor and its performance will probably never be equalled, at least not in our world.
    I promise you that you will soon experience an adventure that you will find hard to believe at times.
    I must ask you to keep what you discover in this room a secret and tell no one, not even your parents.  This message will be deleted in ten seconds then you must open a document named, Jamiestest.
    Goodbye
    Great Uncle Stanley.
    ‘Wow, this is spooky,’ Jamie said when the message disappeared from the screen.      He was startled by the call from his dad announcing that his mum had just made some tea and he was to move his butt, like now.
    Jamie wasn’t thinking of the cup of tea that was waiting for him when he nearly fell as he ran downstairs and excitedly announced that the computer was working after he had tried his sister’s suggestion about the password being, ‘OHMSLAW’.
    ‘That’s great.   I hope you are going to thank her,’ Kevin said.
    ‘Thanks, sis,’
    ‘See, girls aren’t stupid, are they, Mum?’ said Leanne who was looking pleased with herself.
    ‘Of course we‘re not,’ Debbie agreed with a smug smile and then added, ‘the next time that your brother suggests such a thing, just say, Ohmslaw, to him.’
    ‘Very funny,’ Jamie said, but he really was grateful for his sister’s help.
    ‘I wonder why Uncle Stanley chose such a strange name for his cat?’ Debbie asked.
    ‘Well it is better than volts or amps, which is what his name is connected with.’  Kevin replied.
    ‘It sounds like your dad is remembering something from the New Scientist magazine again,’ Debbie said, smiling at the children.
    ‘Is it true dad? Is that where his name comes from?’ Jamie asked.
    ‘Straight up.  It’s some law named after a German feller and it’s to do with voltage and current and something else which I think is resistance.  I read about it in Uncle Stanley’s old technical dictionary.’
    ‘Hmm, very impressive and we thought our Jamie was the clever one,’ Debbie said.  
    ‘So, what’s the computer like, son?’ Kevin asked.  Has it got lots of games like, Space Invaders?’
    ‘Space Invaders went out with
