- What are you guys doing with the Apple IIgs' that you have at your schools?
- I have a great deal of programming knowledge with the IIgs and I am also in
- constant contact with the programming community at large.
-
- Most of the teachers I've talked to about the Apple IIgs feel that it is a
- dead machine. Well, what if I told you that this computer can be hooked into
- the Internet, can be used from a desktop interface just like the Macintosh,
- can be put on an Ethernet network and function normally, can support SCSI hard
- disk drives, has a shell called GNO/ME developed by Jawaid Bazyar and Tim
- Meekins that probably beats some UNIX implementations? Did you know that?
- Anyway, my point is that I know many of you have Apple's in your schools, and
- they're probably being used as nothing more than word processors...let me
- tell you want Apple didn't...write back if you're interested.
-
- Also, about the name on thi account...I have not been able to get a hold of the
- sysadmins here to change that...it was a joke between a student and I and well
- it's a long story...I'm Amrit, and have no intension of remaining anonymous.
- As soon as I can change that I will. Sorry about the length of my previous
- post, as I know many of you will not be receiving the whole thing, but read
- what you can and I'm very interested to hear what you all have to say.
-
- Thanks...
