IMHO, the schools (didn't I hear that they represented the largest ][ base?) won't ditch their machines and software just to make the GS people happy. BTW, how many of these ][e's out there in schools were never 'enhanced'? I'm willing to bet that many of them weren't, even after the upgrade chips became widely available. Midwood High School (in Brooklyn, NY) still had 4 of the old black Bell&Howell ]['s running - boy, were they nice machines! From the terminal of a happy ][e (or //e :-) user. -- Jeffrey L.
