Re: What model Apple II did your school have?

["Bryan Villados" <news003@macgeek.org>]

I didn't see an Apple II in school until 1983, which is when my electronics
teacher brought in a Bell & Howell Apple II+. He used to go to Japan at
least once a year and buy dupes of things for the computer like RAM cards,
Z-80 cards, etc.

I actually didn't see an Apple II used in a ciriculum until 1984 when a math
teacher brought in six Apple IIe's to teach her Computer Math course. I
don't remember if they were enhanced or not, but they were the beige model.
