Re: Best Apple IIGS educational software?

Thanks, they have tried McGee but don't like the series. I am trying
one by one on your list.

As previously suggested, I think it is always best to start the
software in a workable state first (if it means it has no sound), but
those that are adventurous enough can change the config file to test
out to see whether it will crash. Of course, if just wanted to turn on/
off sound, it is still best to use Apple-M.
