        I don't know why pro-line adds that stuff to my captured text. Do any
of you? Anyway, the junior high I went to has about 12 //e's and a couple of
dead ][+'s that were donated. The highschool I currently attend has a //e's
everywhere, a GS lab, a Mac SE lab (networked), and just a few IBM PS/2's
(these are used to run CD-ROM encyclopedias and such tasks).
        The GS is a good educational machine, and the Apple II ed. ware base
is large. However, there is as much NEW edware comming out for IBMs as IIs.
Amigas are pecking away at the school's II bases too. My school bought several
new GS's over the summer, and seems to be pretty happy with AW Classic.
