I loved the Macs as much as anyone, but secretly, I only had eyes for a much older system, our school's sole remaining Mac forebear: The lab teacher's Apple IIe. In hindsight, a room full of Macs was quite an investment for a school in those days, but we all took to the systems immediately and began expressing ourselves in all sorts of interesting ways.
