As far as backing things up, I'd use, CopyII+.  That has a rather extensive,
easy to use Param. Files.

For a configuration, if a Hard drive is a finacial possibility, I would go with
upping the memory to a full 1 meg on the card, and then getting a hard drive.
With setting the maximum RAMDISK at 800K that's as good as having a second 3.5".
The hard drive isn't really necessary, but it sure is nice ( you probably know
that though from owning/using an IBM)

Finally, I'd take a good look at ORCA 'C' or Pascal.  Personnally I like Pascal,
and it would be a good jump start for the kids (although, I guess statistics
show that people entering College who have had previous programming experience
do worse than those who are learning for the first time, but I am not completely
convinced of that).
