Well, we finally received our five Z-100's, monitors, and software sets
from Clarkson University.  The Z-100's, software, and the FRONTS of the
monitors came through in fine shape, but the width-control knob on the
rear of three of the monitors was jammed inside, breaking the width-
control printed-circuit board assembly.  A little superglue (TM?) for
the pc board and some tack-soldering for the pc traces got them going
again, but let this be a lesson for EVERYONE who ships monitors:  the
backside needs just as much protection as the frontside!

My wife got these Z-100's to use in a camp for handicapped children at
which she has worked for about 15 years.  Having had a Z-100 at home,
and getting them for such a good price from Clarkson (about $240 each,
including freight), she thought they would be ideal for use at this
camp.  She hopes to teach a little word processing and spreadsheet
usage, and maybe the rudiments of programming in BASIC.  However, she
all-of-a-sudden realized that the campers might also like to play
computer-oriented games, also!  Unfortunately, we've NEVER had even a
single game on our home Z-100.

HELP!  Please tell us where and how to get Z-100 games of any kind.
Send us some if you have them available.  Tell us where to FTP some.
But please do NOT point us to games for the PC; we've tried several
in the last few days, and most do NOT run (because of obvious
differences in screen and "speaker" between the PC and Z-100).
