Finally set up my IIgs system in my new house....

Let me tell you. Living in a condo sucked. Never had the room to set up all my 
computer crap.

My wife and I just bought a house, and it came with a "bonus room" 
(translation: non-permitted). 

Given the absolute lack of space in the old condo, my IIgs equipment has been 
lying dormant in the garage..... for the last 2 years.

So last night, I broke out the old IIgs, hooked her up, and it came right 
up.... Straight into GS/OS. Never missed a beat (I was worried about the hard 
drive).

My daughter (3 years old) asked me "what is that". I said "It is your 
computer". Her eyes lit up. She moved a chair over to the desk, sat down, and 
started messing with it. She wanted to "paint". So I loaded up the AWGS paint 
program. She took to it like a fish to water. 

Something about a mouse with a single button and a simple interface attracted 
her. She loves "her computer". 

It is kinda neat watching your child learn about computers on the same computer 
you learned on yourself. Well, originally, I learned on a Vic-20, TRS-80 Model 
3 and a IIe before I got my IIgs, but you know what I mean!
