The subject, minus the word game, brought back a few fond memories. The
junior high I went to the longest, Horace Man Junior High, added a computer
lab and computer science class my 8th grade year - '83/'84. I took the
class and have been hooked ever since. The school had an Apple ][ Plus
"network." I don't remember all the details. The host had half a dozen
floppy drives attached to it and all the "network" did was give several
other computers access to those drives. If I remember correctly it ran ROS,
the Remote Operating System. All the boxes on the network were daisy
chained off the host by narrow ribbon cables. It was a one semester class.
I did well enough that the teacher asked me to be her student aid the second
semester. Ah, the memories.
