Chapter 32: Why Am I the One Going?

```

Dean presented to Judge Witt a software that at the moment was only a shell.

He had spent three days writing a simple database search algorithm that only searched in specified locations, like the additional hard drive.

He had picked up the 10MB Seagate hard drive from an electronics enthusiast's home in the south of the city, which only cost Dean 10 US Dollars. If he had bought a brand-new one, it would have been 1100 US Dollars.

Although the capacity of 10MB was still limited, it was enough to store textual case information.

Dean needed only to input some of the most typical cases for the demonstration, most of which came from the database of Frank's Eagle Moving Company where he worked.

As for the algorithm, the reason he could finish it in three days was that it was essentially a version of the search algorithm from Price's List.

It wasn't very smart, even a bit rigid, but it was good enough.
