My mother works in the Menomonee Falls school district here, and I have
been working with her to bring computers into the classroom. The school
recently bought several Rom03s as basic machines. (Yeah!) Needless to
say, they don't do much this way. I would like to find at least 2 good
apple or other 1 meg memory boards that noone else wants fully populated.
Say you have a Rom01 and you needed more than 1.25 so you bought a bigger
board and now you have this old 1 megger laying about. I'd like them so
we can run a decent 2 meg system for AWGS and HyperStudio etc in the
classroom. Unfortunately, this is all coming out of our pocket, as the
rest of the money is all dedicated to new macs. Could I talk anyone into
selling that old board in good cond for $25 or $30 to help the middle
school?

I'm also working with some //es in the Library that have modems hooked
up. The kids call Online on the teachers account (ouch!), and several
other multi-user BBSs. We're trying to immerse them into computers as
much as possible. We have a 300baud and a 1200baud that were donated
when the old users moved up to 2400. We'd like to add one more to the
social studies classroom. Could anyone cut me a deal on a 1200 or
possibly 2400 modem that would work with a //e?

I've gotta say, this is really fun, and the kids really take to BBSs
and putting together newspapers in the classroom. The program is
growing faster than we can afford to support it! Some budget money is
still available - but the school kind of frowns on purch orders to
individuals...

Thanks!
