        Schools are still hooked on the apple // computers.  They use the
apple computers because of the library of software that they already have.
I should know.....my mom is a teacher.

        I personally use an IBM Compatible 286 machine (soon to get a 386 8-)
and I look at the apple // series as expensive toys.  The //gs I view as a
really expesive toy.....sorry if I insult you, but those are just my views.
I used to be an apple person, until I got an IBM PC (yes the original) from an
uncle.  Ever since then, I've been an IBM person.  I just found the IBM DOS a
lot easier to use, and the computer to be more powerful than the apple //
series

that existed at the time.  It is still my opinion that the IBM is a far better
machine than the apple // line; with it's serious competitor being the Mac.

yet......boy is that a bitch....:-(
