They've actually been learning quite a bit thanks to the Model 100 - been
writing text adventure games in BASIC, using it for storywriting. I signed up
for a dial-up account with a local freenet (yes, it still exists!) to show them
300-baud dialup with the acoustic coupler. (They were somewhere between 'wow!'
and '...why?' on that one.)
