I'm fairly new to the list, so I'd like to introduce myself (and my computers). I am typing this message right now on an Apple IIGS. I've worked with most of the older Apple II series computers also. I still actively use my Apple IIGS for nearly every task that most people think requires a "new" computer. My first computer, on which I learned a *lot* about programming, was the Mattel Aquarius, which I still own. I've been looking off and on for information about it. The FAQ is nice, but I know of at least one possible inaccuracy: the "Chess" game was released, I'm reasonably sure, because I have it. The computer's not too bad of a player, either, if I remember (it's been *years* since I've used the machine - I'm living at college right now, and the Aquarius is at home). I know now that a lot of people didn't like the Aquarius. I thought it was a really neat machine. I probably learned more from it that from any other single learning tool I've ever had, with the *possible* exception of my IIGS. I'm looking forward to hearing about anyone else's experiences with the Aquarius (or even the IIGS, though info about that is still plentiful on comp.sys.apple2). -- Andy Brobston brobstona(a)wartburg.edu http://www.wartburg.edu/personalPages/BrobstonA/home.html My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Wartburg College as a whole.
