Did anyone else have Apple 2e and Apple 2c Computers at school - in the 80's.

 

We had to draw blocks and stuff using Logo I think - a small turtle thing.

In PE in 83 or '4 we had this thing that was the size of a modern day supercomputer that had the class doing nothing but maths problems on it. I mean like the times tables in Standard 3, not sophistimicated stuff like actual graphics.

Yup. Logo. 

 

was rad! Then there were the games. This little car thing that had to jump over gaps and ramps etc. Then Prince of Persia, the original Sonic (sega) and Mortal Kombat. So much fun...

Left school at the end of 1968!

 

Went to work as a mining cadet in what was then Rhodesia (I had ambitions of becoming a mining engineer) and earned the princely sum of £50 a month, on which I bought my first car ---- a 1959 Austin A40 Farina, cost me £90, 2nd hand of course.

I had the Maths module and a few others that escape my memory. Also did some hardware interfacing with the HP IL system

Who remembers these?

My granny had a few of those back in the day. Didn't really pay attention to them back then, but I sort of appreciate them a lot more when I see them these days.
