We had a bunch of enhanced and nonenhanced //es, a ][+ or two, one
even had a Vader or two.  And maybe three IIgs 1s (one school, my
teacher brought in her own IIgs 0).  Most of the systems had either
AppleColor monitors or the monochrome model.  One Platinum.

Oregon Trail required 64K, so they must have had at least that. ;)

Want it on your PC? ;)  I have an 8x8 version of the font and can
create 8x14 and 8x16 versions, so you can use DISPLAY.SYS and MODE to
load it up as a CPI file in Doze.
