RETROCOMPUTING LIQUIDATION

Hi, I am a teacher here at the local elementary school in Humble, TX. To be honest, the computer department here at the school is rather pathetic, two Apple //e's and an XT that was donated that I can't get to work. To be frank, these kids are going into a world where they are illiterate in the basic workings of a computer. I hate to sound desperate, but I have just exausted all leads I know to take on the matter. I saw your ad and thought that there could still be a chance. I am a little familiar with computer collectiong myself, I have none but have read all the antique computer museum site in order to more educate myself on what I am loking for. From what I understand, the TRS-80 Model III has BASIC language built in???? Any difference, if were to ovtain this computer, I would search vigorously for eduaction software, I'm sure I could find this somewhere Like in an old Radio Shack warehouse or something. And if there is BASIC on it, I could use to perhaps teach a small summer class on computer programming and incorporate the to Apple //e's. Unfortunatly, I am a little short on funds at the moment (this moment has lasted about all my life) and the school district will no longer return my calls. If the TRS-80 Model III or any other computer is still available, I would be more than happy to pay the shipping costs to ZIP code 77346. I hope you could find it in your heart to lend a lerning tool to a group of children from first grade to 5th. If not, a simple reply telling that you cannot donate would be sufficient. However, if you can, I would like to work out the specifics such as shipping addresses and prices or if there is something else that I can do for you. Thank you for reading this message, I hope that I have not come accross to strong. Thank you. -Justin Teague snoball(a)pdq.net
