D214 never split as far as I am aware. Yes, rolling meadows and Arlington heights were both in d214 (and continued to both be there until Arlington was closed and sold by the district in the early 80's). The district (214) had an hp2000 timeshare system by the mid 70's (not sure when it went online) that all high schools shared (as well as being used by the terminal at the rm public library). Harper also had an hp2000 system that it shared with high school d211 (west of d214). I did get to do some operating on the harper hp2000 when I started working here as a computer operator. -Bob bbrown at harpercollege.edu ####? #### Bob Brown - KB9LFR Harper Community College ##? ##? ## Supervisor of Operations Palatine IL USA????????? ####? #### Saved by grace -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Rich Alderson Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 3:14 PM To: 'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts' Subject: Chicago suburban high school computing c. 1970 [was RE: digi-log terminals?] From: Bob Brown Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2013 12:19 PM Was that before or after the split of District 214 into 214 and 215? When I graduated from Arlington High School in 1969, Rolling Meadows was part of the same district, and the Computer Math (i.e., FORTRAN IV) class was taught using the 1401 at the school district building near the Mt. Prospect/ Des Plaines city limits line. Monday and Thursday evenings down Northwest Highway. (Lemme see, Arlington, Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Elk Grove, Palatine, Fremd, Wheeling and Buffalo Grove, if I remember the flags on the gym wall correctly. Hersey and something to the south came into being my senior year. That was District 214. Lots of people I knew went to Harper as a start on their college careers.) The next year, 3 of the schools in the district got 1620s (a good friend who was a year younger was the operator for the one at Arlington). By the mid-1970s, I was out of touch with anyone in that area and don't know how things developed, though I did hear about the district split from a freshman at Ohio State when I was a senior (1975). HP 2000, hmm? We're in the middle of putting a 21MX and a later 1000 into service at the museum.
