That's true. Sounds like an opportunity for programmers. Or you could set
them up with emulators. I did some volunteer support work for a local Apple
II computer lab. The principle finally decided to surplus them. But you're
right, the teachers really liked certain programs. They asked me to try to
find a particular piece of software, because the disks were going bad and
they were copy protected. I couldn't find any mention of it on the net, and
I didn't know how to defeat the copy protection.
