Before I retired, I kept up with 40 of 50 APPLE IIe's in my school. THe school board voted to give me all of them. The teachers were using them when I retired. I would never let the teachers use an original disk, since K-1 students are hard on them. I am not sure what they did with all those Apple IIes. Many of them had neat Sony monitors that were built especially for the IIes. Computer would go down, and I would have it fixed before the teacher came back from lunch - power supply.
I need to find those IIes; but at the same time, I don't need to. It is so hard on my osteoarthritic back to even pickup a monitor much less a monitor. Wouldn't mind having those Sony monitors since I purchased them myself. All teachers had enhanced computers with color monitors. Dale "Playing the harp is more productive than waging war."
