Re: Any more "Newbies" out there???



<< ... it would be nice to hear from the other
'newbies' out there and find out why you got into the A2 and what your
experience has been thus far... >>

At seven or eight years, I still feel like a newbie in this group.  I touched
my first Apple II around 1985-6 when I was doing my student teaching.  My
assignments were to analyze apple II software (I still remember that I reviewed
"Mammoth Meltdown"--anyone have a copy?) and to create a LOGO project, because
this is what we would be teaching our students to do in the classroom.  

Like most teachers, I had very limited access to computers for years--perhaps
30 minutes once every week or two in the school's computer lab.  Yes, I taught
them LOGO.  

It wasn't until eight years ago when I started at my current school that I
actually had a computer in my classroom.  It was an abandoned Apple ][e that
nobody wanted.

The rest is history.
