Looking for a short series from the 80s or early 90s

MC was a guy. Had a bicycle. Some incident with a rich woman had her throw a bunch of money at him. She later asked for it back, but he had already spent it - paying off loan sharks for some couple being threatened.

There's a scene where he's learning to program on a fake keyboard with a book. No computer.

Eventually gets job with rich woman's programming company. As janitor.

That is indeed it! Made a gif of the typing on the paper keyboard in response to local gov saying students could learn to code with pen & paper.

Happy to help  

At least they’re not making you do it all in your head

Hello there! :D I'm kind of hoping that you might know something about this anime I've watched when I was a kid. Only thing I remember is a woman (maybe an old lady) on a green floating sphere that looked like a bean. It's not much information, but if someone knows something I would really appreciate it. I would really love to find it. :) Thanks!

@Mikasa89

the only thing coming to mind is Fortuneteller Baba from Dragonball (before Z) who would float/fly around on her crystal ball, though I doubt it’s what you’re looking for

 

It would be helpful if you could give an approximate era (80s, 90s) or the type of artstyle (how realistic or cartoonish)
