- My son's second grade class has a IIe with 5.25" floppy. As far as I can
- tell, it has not even been turned on this year. The teacher is planning on
- doing something with it during Jan/Feb when 'there is nothing else to do'.
-
- What I would like to locate is a source for low cost software (cause the
- school isn't going to run out and pay thousands or even hundreds of dollars -
- frankly, they have the computers as a gift and no one ever bothered to give
- them the gift of software so almost NO ONE uses them!). But I dont want
- video games per se nor do I want boring 'flash card' programs which just
- print blase text on the screen asking questions. I am interested in finding
- software for a IIe which could be used to reenforce Spelling words, Reading
- assignments, Math programs, etc.
-
- I assume that I am out of luck - I perhaps should just tell the teachers to
- go ahead and trade in those Apples for some other type of equipment? Perhaps
- film strip projectors or something?
