                             Survey of
               Types of Apple II Computers in Schools


Dear Reader:

What kind of Apple II computers are still in use in schools today?  We 
are in the process of developing a low-cost network that will use 
Apple II computers as workstations to send email right from the 
classroom.  In order to tailor the project to the needs of schools, we 
are gathering data on what kind of Apple II computers are still in use 
in school systems.

If you are a teacher, administrator, or computer/technology coordin- 
ator in a K-12 school system, would you please fill out the following 
survey and email it to me.  Thank you.
