People with Duos, If you have a color Duo, you can help our schools. You can loan schools a 280c or 270c absolutely loaded to the limit with educational software. An even better alternative is to loan the Duo directly to kids who have no access to computers. Do you know that "http://mac.theunderdogs.org"; has an extremely wide selection of abandoned and unsupported games (many very educational) for the Duos for downloading for FREE? Even game programs as simple as "Lemmings" and "The Incredible Machine" are extremely educational. Also "Caesar II", "Mario Teaches Typing", "Oregon Trail", "SimCity", "PipeDream" are all available for loading onto a Duo for kids to use. Also, many educational programs for the Duos can be purchase on eBay for $5 to $10 including programs like Fractal Painter 4 and Bryce 2. The Duos are particularly good for schools and kids because they are compact with few parts. No battery is needed, just the AC adapter. So when you upgrade to an iBook, remember that school kids can get a lot out of your Duo... if you just load it with lots of good software. Robert Purser Editor Digital Puppet magazine P.S. If you don't want to go to all this effort, starting next Spring, I will do it for you (load the software on the machines and loan them to school kids). ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
