My wife brought home a little present from me: An old Apple IIGS that isn't being used anymore. I'd hinted that I could help the school dispose of them since it has converted entirely to the Windows world.
I need to get some software for it... I've got drives but no media. But I should be able to get something copied over using an old Mac - Apple hasn't totally abandoned the platform since they've left the last system disks available in their support site. You just need a Macintosh to put it all together. :-)
Anyway, I've spent some time showing Harry that if he types PRINT 123 + 456 he will see the result. I guess that's the first programming he's done. Yaaay!
He's also been enjoying the "I've been thinking of a number between 1 and 100" game. (High and Low?) I wrote a quick game for him so he could play it on the IIGS. He actually played it for quite a while.
I've been an Apple II nut since I bought one in high school and I don't think it ever really ends.
